Outlook Bryson Stott
Bryson Stott is finding his rhythm at the plate just in time for a favorable six-game home stretch.
Stott slots in as the everyday starter at second base for the second-place Phillies, who currently hold a 38-33 record. He is swinging a hot bat, hitting .364 over his last six games with five RBIs and a stolen base. Despite minor roster injuries in Philadelphia, his primary playing time remains entirely secure.
While his current .232 season average is underwhelming, his recent surge represents a welcome correction toward our projected rest-of-season average of .257. His power has leveled off with zero home runs over the last two weeks, but his high-contact approach and speed keep him on track to reach his projected 20 stolen bases.
The Phillies have a six-game homestand this week, featuring three games against Miami and three against the Mets. He draws several highly vulnerable matchups, including Miami's Ryan Gusto and his 6.00 ERA, making this a great opportunity to stack counting stats. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Kody Clemens
Kody Clemens' Red-Hot Surge Offers Intriguing Short-Term Streaming Value
Kody Clemens has settled into a highly productive role as the everyday starter at first base for the third-place Minnesota Twins. The 30-year-old infielder is enjoying a massive power surge, highlighted by hitting four home runs with a stellar .318 batting average and nine runs scored over his last 12 games. With the Twins sitting at 33-40 and managing multiple lineup injuries, Clemens has provided a crucial spark in the heart of their batting order.
While this current hot streak is incredibly valuable for fantasy managers, a look under the hood suggests long-term regression is inevitable. Clemens has already swatted 10 home runs this year, surpassing our models' initial projection of eight homers over 230 at-bats. However, his career .218 batting average and susceptibility to strikeouts indicate that this high-level production is more of a hot streak than a permanent breakout. Fantasy managers should ride the wave while he is locked in but remain cautious of his baseline averages.
This week, the Twins embark on a six-game road trip against Texas and Arizona. Clemens draws several favorable matchups against vulnerable arms, including Jack Leiter (5.13 ERA) and Zac Gallen (5.71 ERA), though a matchup against Michael Soroka (3.11 ERA) will test his patience. Our weekly projection highlights strong power potential and run-producing opportunities across these six games. Ride his hot hand and insert him into active lineups this week.
