Outlook Jung Hoo Lee
Jung Hoo Lee is the hottest hitter in baseball, riding a massive hitting streak that makes him an elite weekly play.
Lee has been absolutely on fire, batting .400 (10-for-25) over his last seven days and extending an incredible hitting streak that highlights his elite contact skills. The fourth-place Giants (29-43) welcomed him back from a brief IL stint for a back strain, and he has immediately locked back into his everyday starting role in right field.
While his current .331 season average and recent .480 mark over the last month are boosted by an incredibly hot run, Lee is a legitimate elite contact hitter whose career .266 average is rising rapidly. Our projection expects him to settle around a .263 batting average rest-of-season, but his microscopic strikeout rate keeps his fantasy floor exceptionally high.
San Francisco plays six road games this week, starting with a series against Atlanta where Lee will face vulnerable pitchers Grant Holmes and JR Ritchie before a tougher matchup against Max Meyer in Miami. Given his historic hot streak and favorable matchups, he is an undeniable must-play this week. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Dominic Canzone
Dominic Canzone Sizzles at the Plate as Seattle's Primary Designated Hitter
Canzone is red-hot, batting .381 with two home runs over his last seven days. His outstanding performance provides a major lift to the first-place Mariners (37-36) as they lead the AL West. With J.P. Crawford on the injured list and key bats like Josh Naylor banged up, Canzone is locked in as Seattle's primary designated hitter.
His current surge dwarfs our conservative season projection of a .242 average and seven home runs, as he already has 10 homers and a .286 average through 64 games. While his recent .810 slugging percentage is bound for regression, his improved plate discipline and .395 on-base percentage over the last month are highly encouraging. Expect a slight power dip, but his baseline has permanently risen.
Seattle enjoys seven home games this week against Baltimore and Boston. Canzone should feast on high-traffic pitchers like Kyle Bradish (4.54 ERA, 1.58 WHIP) before facing tougher tests like Boston's Payton Tolle (3.04 ERA). Given his red-hot bat and secure everyday role, he is a priority lineup addition. Verdict: Start.
