Outlook Blaze Alexander
Hot-hitting utility man Blaze Alexander offers short-term spark amid infield injuries
Blaze Alexander is locked in, batting .406 with two homers and 11 RBIs over his last 14 days. With starting third baseman Jordan Westburg out for the season, the fourth-place Orioles (31-35) have leaned on Alexander's hot bat. Though he is listed as a backup utility infielder on the depth chart, his recent performance has earned him regular opportunities.
Do not expect this elite production to last, as our models project a .231 rest-of-season average and nine total home runs, which aligns with his career .234 average. While a regression to the mean is coming, his defensive versatility and current momentum make him a useful asset while he remains locked in at the plate.
Baltimore has seven home games this week, starting with a tough series against Seattle's rotation, including Emerson Hancock and his 2.80 ERA. Fortunately, matchups ease up later against San Diego, featuring a prime opportunity against Griffin Canning and his 6.34 ERA. Ride the wave and stream him in deeper formats.

Outlook Vinnie Pasquantino
Everyday First Base Anchor Primed for Return to Elite Plate Discipline
Pasquantino enters his fifth major league season locked in as the everyday starter at first base for the Kansas City Royals. At 28 years old, the left-handed slugger is in his physical prime and sits securely in the heart of a young, ascending lineup, offering excellent stability in daily playing time. After a prior campaign in which he showcased serious run-producing capability, he has cemented himself as a fixture near the top of the batting order.
Our season projections anticipate a strong bounce-back across his categorical contributions. Over 561 projected at-bats, Pasquantino is expected to hit nearly 20 home runs, drive in 63 runs, and score 63 times, supported by a projected .260 batting average and .318 on-base percentage. These projected marks line up well with his career averages and underline his capability to stabilize fantasy batting ratios while chipping in steady, middle-of-the-order run production.
Currently holding an ADP of 65.61, the market views Pasquantino as a safe, highly reliable starting corner infielder. Given his elite contact skills and high floor, he represents a secure investment at his draft price, appealing to managers looking to build a balanced roster without sacrificing batting average.
