Outlook Willi Castro
Willi Castro’s red-hot streak makes him an essential weekly start
Willi Castro is red-hot, slashing .385/.448/.654 with two home runs over his last six games, highlighted by a massive seven-RBI performance yesterday. The everyday second baseman is providing a major spark for the last-place, 27-45 Rockies. With teammates like Mickey Moniak currently sidelined on the injured list, Castro’s everyday volume and multi-positional versatility are fully locked in.
While his .348 average over the last 30 days will eventually regress toward his .248 season projection and .243 career norm, his current production is highly valuable. The speed threat—who has five steals already this year—is displaying unexpected pop that makes him more than just a source of runs and stolen bases. Expect a solid mid-.250s average with steady counting stats the rest of the way.
Colorado faces a six-game slate, beginning with three games on the road against the Cubs before hosting the Pirates. Castro gets a mix of favorable matchups against high-ERA arms like Edward Cabrera (4.86 ERA) and Jared Jones (4.73 ERA), though he must navigate aces Shota Imanaga and Paul Skenes. With our models projecting a .319 average and a home run this week, keep him locked in.

Outlook Jac Caglianone
Raw Power and Elite Pedigree Make Caglianone an Intriguing Fantasy Option
Jac Caglianone enters his second big-league season locked into the primary everyday role in right field for the Royals. At just 23 years old, the young slugger brings tremendous raw power and a high pedigree to a rebuilding Kansas City lineup. While his debut in 2025 was marred by a painful .157 batting average across 62 games, he is expected to take a significant step forward with everyday plate appearances in his age-23 campaign.
Our projections expect Caglianone to post a more respectable .236 batting average and .309 on-base percentage over 450 at-bats. Fantasy managers can look forward to modest pop with a projected 14 home runs and 54 RBIs, though his underlying exit velocity metrics suggest there is room for even greater power upside if he can make more consistent contact. He remains a non-factor on the base paths, with our models slating him for just five stolen bases.
Drafted with an ADP of 181.45, Caglianone is being valued as a late-round flyer with significant power potential. He represents a classic high-risk, high-reward option who could emerge as a cheap source of home runs if his hit tool develops. For managers willing to stomach some batting average volatility, his immense physical tools make him well worth the investment in the double-digit rounds.
