Outlook Tyler Soderstrom
Tyler Soderstrom's red-hot bat makes him an essential lineup lock for the week ahead.
Tyler Soderstrom is red-hot, batting .500 with a 1.350 OPS over his last five games and .381 over the past two weeks. He is locked in as the everyday starter in left field for the second-place Athletics, who are 30-31 and on a two-game winning streak. Despite team rotation injuries, his lineup security is peak.
Some regression from his current .381 clip is expected given his .230 season mark. However, our models project him to finish around a .256 average with 16 homers, which aligns with the power upside from his 25-homer campaign in 2025. This hot streak proves his slow start is firmly behind him.
The Athletics continue their road trip today against Shota Imanaga (4.50 ERA) before visiting Houston. The remaining games feature highly favorable matchups against Peter Lambert (3.77 ERA), Tatsuya Imai (5.52 ERA), and Mike Burrows (5.66 ERA). Lock him into lineups with confidence. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Brandon Marsh
Brandon Marsh is on an absolute tear at the plate, making him a must-start option for fantasy lineups this week.
Brandon Marsh is in the midst of an absolute tear at the plate, batting .387 with an outstanding 1.022 OPS over his last 14 days for the second-place Phillies. Completely past a minor late-May finger injury, the everyday left fielder continues to secure his status as an essential offensive asset while driving Philadelphia's lineup.
While his current .335 batting average will inevitably regress toward our moderate .260 season projection, his historic BABIP skills show his contact-heavy profile is no flash in the pan. Our models expect him to settle in as a highly reliable contributor for runs and double-digit stolen bases over the rest of the season.
The Phillies finish their home series with San Diego today before welcoming Chicago for the weekend, giving Marsh four remaining matchups against highly vulnerable arms like Lucas Giolito and David Sandlin. Given these incredibly soft matchups and his scorching-hot form, you must lock him into your active lineup. Verdict: Start.
