Outlook Tristan Peters
Tristan Peters is scorching hot at the plate, making him a priority fantasy target.
Tristan Peters is on a tear for the second-place White Sox (34-31), who trail the division lead by just two games. Over his last 14 days, the outfielder has slashed an incredible .474/.524/.711. With injuries to outfielders Austin Hays and Everson Pereira, Peters has locked down the role of everyday starting center fielder.
While his recent hot streak is unsustainable, Peters has maintained a stellar .307 batting average over 62 games this season. Our models expect some regression toward his lifetime baseline, but his outstanding bat-to-ball skills make him a high-floor asset. He should continue to provide excellent batting average and runs even if his modest power tapers off.
Chicago has a six-game home stretch ahead, starting with three against Atlanta followed by three against the Dodgers. He faces elite arms like Chris Sale (2.23 ERA) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2.68 ERA), but gets softer matchups against Grant Holmes and Emmet Sheehan (4.89 ERA). Ride the hot hand while he is producing at this level. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Braden Montgomery
Top prospect Braden Montgomery tearing up Triple-A, looming as high-upside stash for White Sox
Though Montgomery has yet to debut in the majors, our data shows him tearing up Triple-A, where he is slashing .299/.372/.486 with 10 home runs. The second-place White Sox (34-31) are currently dealing with several outfield injuries, including Austin Hays and Everson Pereira. Montgomery is not yet on the active major league roster, but his arrival feels imminent.
With no major league track record or active projections, we must rely on his minor league dominance and elite raw power to project his rest-of-season value. While rookies often face an adjustment period against big-league breaking stuff, his high-walk, high-power profile makes him a premier stash candidate whose raw power could provide a major boost to fantasy lineups.
Chicago plays six home games this week against Atlanta and the Dodgers, featuring challenging matchups against aces Chris Sale and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. While Montgomery remains in the minors for now and will not face these pitchers, his high-upside profile makes him a must-stash player in competitive formats. Verdict: Hold.
