Outlook Owen Caissie
A highly-touted power bat adjusting to big-league pitching, Caissie offers intriguing upside with batting average risk.
After an offseason trade brought him to Miami, twenty-four-year-old Owen Caissie has quickly secured his place as the everyday starter in right field for the Marlins. Caissie graduated from top prospect status early in the 2026 season and has been given a long runway in the middle of Miami's lineup, especially with teammates like Griffin Conine currently sidelined. His physical tools and raw power are undeniable, but his lack of major league experience means he is still adapting to advanced pitching.
Our projections estimate a .238 batting average over 345 at-bats, highlighting the contact issues that currently limit his fantasy ceiling. While he is on track for modest pop with nearly 10 home runs and over 40 RBIs, his career average of .212 and a high strikeout rate demonstrate the volatility fantasy managers must accept. Caissie is not a major threat on the basepaths, as our models project just four stolen bases, meaning his primary contributions must come from his slugging ability.
Ultimately, Caissie represents a high-upside power source with a fragile floor in standard re-draft leagues. He is an excellent target for fantasy managers willing to absorb a batting average hit in exchange for raw power potential, particularly in keeper or dynasty formats where his long-term ceiling remains incredibly bright.

Outlook Nolan Arenado
Nolan Arenado Struggles in June Slump, but Everyday Role Keeps Him Active
Nolan Arenado is struggling mightily at the plate, hitting just .130 over the last seven days and .149 over the last two weeks. Despite this slump, he remains the undisputed everyday starter at third base for the third-place Diamondbacks (36-35). Arenado is past his late-May groin injury, providing vital lineup stability with teammates like Lourdes Gurriel Jr. sidelined.
This recent cold spell is a major outlier compared to Arenado's .243 season average and our model's .251 projected mark. While his power has dried up with only two home runs in his last 30 days, his career track record suggests positive regression is imminent. Do not panic-sell, as his baseline metrics indicate his bat will warm up soon.
Arizona plays six home games this week against the Angels and Twins. While Arenado faces a few tough matchups like Sam Aldegheri (2.12 ERA), he also gets to tee off on vulnerable arms like Connor Prielipp (5.26 ERA). Keep him in your lineups this week; our verdict is to Start.
