Outlook Jac Caglianone
Jac Caglianone is tearing the cover off the ball as the Royals' hot-hitting right fielder.
Caglianone has been on an absolute tear, batting .447 over his last 14 days and a scorching .667 over his last seven days. Despite a brief scare with shoulder soreness on June 6, he returned to swat two home runs on June 9 and collect four hits on June 10. He is locked in as the primary starting right fielder for the fourth-place Royals, who currently sit at 28-40.
While his current hot streak is elite, our projections of a .236 average and 14 home runs suggest significant regression to the mean is coming. However, his jump from a .157 average in 2025 to a .275 mark in 2026 in our data shows real growth, suggesting his high-end power output is here to stay.
The rest of the week features a matchup against Kumar Rocker of Texas, followed by a three-game series against Houston. He gets to feast on high-ERA pitchers Tatsuya Imai (5.24 ERA) and Mike Burrows (5.77 ERA) before a tough Sunday test against Spencer Arrighetti. He remains a must-start option in all formats.

Outlook Seiya Suzuki
Seiya Suzuki heats up at the plate, anchoring the Cubs' lineup ahead of key road matchups.
Seiya Suzuki is locked in at the plate, batting .333 with a .429 on-base percentage and a home run over his last seven games. He remains the unquestioned primary right fielder for a fourth-place Chicago Cubs squad looking to snap a three-game slide. Despite early-season knee concerns, Suzuki is fully healthy and anchoring the middle of the order.
While a chilly .212 average over the last 30 days highlights some deeper mid-season struggles, Suzuki's recent resurgence aligns with his robust .261 projected average. Our models expect him to normalize toward his rest-of-season projection of 22 home runs and 73 RBIs, making this current hot streak a sustainable return to form.
The Cubs close out a series in hitter-friendly Colorado against Ryan Feltner before heading to San Francisco for three games, where they will avoid elite arms and instead face Landen Roupp, Trevor McDonald, and Logan Webb. Given his current hot hand and a final game at Coors Field, he is an essential lineup fixture. Weekly Verdict: Start.
