Outlook Willson Contreras

Willson Contreras' Red-Hot Power Surge Makes Him a Must-Start Option

Willson Contreras is tearing the cover off the ball as the everyday first baseman for the fifth-place Red Sox (29-40). Over his last 14 days, the veteran has mashed five home runs with a massive .390 batting average and a .457 OBP. He is locked into the heart of Boston's order, showing no lingering effects from his previous hand issue.

While Contreras' stellar .400 average over his last 30 days is bound for some regression toward our .253 rest-of-season projection, his overall 2026 campaign (.304 average, 16 home runs) shows a clear skills growth from his career marks. Our models indicate his increased power output is legitimate, backed by excellent plate discipline and quality contact.

The Red Sox play a seven-game slate this week, featuring matchups against Toronto and Seattle. Contreras will face a few tough starters like Bryce Miller (1.54 ERA), but he gets prime opportunities against a struggling Max Scherzer (10.23 ERA) and Luis Castillo (5.18 ERA). Given his elite form and heavy volume, keep him locked in. Verdict: Start.
