Corbin Carroll's Power Surge Solidifies Must-Start Status
Corbin Carroll continues to anchor the offense for the third-place Diamondbacks (36-35), even with teammate Lourdes Gurriel Jr. sidelined. Over his last 30 days, the everyday right fielder has been excellent, batting .287 with seven home runs. While his average slowed to .208 over the past seven days, his power remains intact with five long balls over his last 14 days.
Carroll's current .278 average sits comfortably ahead of our projected .257 season mark, proving his offensive growth is legitimate. While his eight stolen bases lag slightly behind our rest-of-season projection of 34 steals, his 12 homers show a major power development. Expect his baserunning to tick up soon, validating his elite multi-category ceiling.
Arizona hosts a six-game home stand this week, beginning with three games against the Angels before welcoming the Twins. Carroll draws highly favorable matchups against back-end starters like Connor Prielipp (5.26 ERA) alongside tougher tests like Sam Aldegheri. Lock him in as an elite option. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Dylan Crews
Crews Struggles for Average but Flashes Power and Speed Ahead of Six-Game Slate
Dylan Crews continues to make spectacular defensive highlights, but his bat remains cold, yielding a meager .182 average over the last week and .167 over the last 14 days. He currently serves as a rotational outfielder for the third-place Nationals, who hold a 37-35 record and a two-game winning streak. While he remains healthy, his role as a secondary option in center and right field limits his path to guaranteed daily starts.
The young outfielder's .193 batting average over the last month is a step back from his .208 mark in 2025 and our season projection of .231. His hard-hit ability is evident in recent tape-measure homers, but his high strikeout rate suggests these contact issues are real. Expect continued ratio drag, though his rest-of-season projection of 10 home runs and 15 steals highlights his high-ceiling fantasy pedigree.
Washington plays six games this week, starting at home against Kansas City before visiting Tampa Bay. Crews draws highly favorable matchups early against Mitch Spence (13.50 ERA) and Luinder Avila (6.19 ERA), but finishes against tougher arms like Nick Martinez (2.43 ERA). Due to his active slump and part-time status, we advise fantasy managers to Sit Crews in weekly formats.
