Outlook Dillon Dingler
Dillon Dingler is performing like an elite fantasy catcher amidst a historic power surge in Detroit.
The Tigers, currently fifth in the AL Central at 28-40, are enjoying a historic offensive boost from their starting catcher. Over his last 14 days, Dingler has been elite, batting .295 with six home runs and 17 RBI in 11 games. Having matched franchise milestones with 16 homers in his first 60 games, he is locked in as the everyday starter behind the plate.
Dingler has already surpassed our full-season projection of 14 home runs, racking up 16 long balls and 49 RBI in just 61 games. His current .520 slugging percentage is a massive leap from his .419 mark in 2025. While his batting average will likely settle near .247, this elite power breakout is fully sustainable due to his secured everyday role.
For the rest of the week, Detroit finishes a series with Minnesota before playing a weekend set in Cleveland. Dingler has highly favorable matchups against Zebby Matthews (4.15 ERA) and Joey Cantillo (4.84 ERA), making him a must-play option for the remaining four games. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Shohei Ohtani
Shohei Ohtani's historic two-way dominance keeps the first-place Dodgers rolling.
Ohtani is in legendary form, slashing .417/.472/.708 over his last 14 days while anchoring the offense for the first-place Dodgers (43-25). Even with team injuries to stars like Will Smith, Ohtani remains fully secure as the team's primary designated hitter and high-end starting pitcher. He just threw another stellar outing on June 10, maintaining his microscopic ~0.64 ERA.
While his recent run is mind-boggling, his career trajectory and our models confirm this is no fluke. Our projections estimate a final line of 48 home runs, 30 stolen bases, and 123 RBIs with a .290 average, which perfectly aligns with his 63-homer campaign last season. He remains the premier cornerstone in all of fantasy baseball.
For the remainder of the week, the Dodgers travel to face the White Sox after wrapping up in Pittsburgh against Mitch Keller (4.81 ERA). Matchups against Sean Burke (3.88 ERA) and Erick Fedde (4.69 ERA) present an incredibly soft schedule for Ohtani to feast on. Keep him locked in your lineups as an elite option. Verdict: Start.
