Outlook Trent Grisham
Trent Grisham's elite power surge and locked-in role make him a prime draft-day target
Trent Grisham enters his age-29 season securely slotted as the primary everyday center fielder for the Yankees. With several outfield injuries lingering, including Jasson Dominguez, Grisham has virtually no competition for playing time and is primed to hit in the middle of a potent New York lineup. His experience and Gold Glove-caliber defense ensure that even during offensive slumps, his manager will keep him written into the daily lineup card.
Fantasy managers can expect major category contributions in power and runs scored. Following a massive 34-homer campaign last year, our models project Grisham to hit another 14 home runs with 75 walks over 452 at-bats. While his projected .217 batting average remains a drag in standard leagues, his elite eye supports a highly valuable .332 on-base percentage, making him a major asset in OBP and points leagues who will also chip in a handful of stolen bases.
Given his current ADP near pick 228, Grisham represents a superb value play. He is a premier target for managers who prioritized high-average hitters early and can now absorb his low batting average in exchange for elite power, run-scoring upside, and robust walk rates in the double-digit rounds.

Outlook Mike Trout
Mike Trout's elite patience and power surge make him an undeniable weekly start.
Mike Trout is in excellent recent form, batting .304 with an outstanding .515 OBP and 10 walks over his last seven days. His performance provides a rare bright spot for the last-place Angels (24-39), who are currently navigating a wave of injuries to key players like Nolan Schanuel and Zach Neto. Despite the lack of lineup protection, Trout remains locked into his everyday role as the primary center fielder.
Looking at his rest-of-season outlook, Trout's current .240 batting average and 14 homers align well with our projections of a .236 average and 24 home runs. However, his elite patience—highlighted by 60 walks in 62 games—suggests he will easily exceed his projected .362 OBP. While his elite speed days are behind him, his underlying metrics indicate this current power-and-patience surge is entirely sustainable.
For the remainder of this week, the Angels face a tough three-game road series against the Dodgers. Trout will navigate matchups against Roki Sasaki (4.59 ERA), Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2.86 ERA), and Emmet Sheehan (4.50 ERA). While Yamamoto is a difficult opponent, the overall volume and Trout's elite OBP floor make him a must-play. Start him with confidence.
