Outlook Kyle Stowers
Stowers Power Surges as Outfielder Commands Everyday Role
Stowers has been on fire lately, hitting .304 with two home runs and seven RBIs over his last six games, highlighted by a multi-homer outburst on June 17. The fourth-place Marlins (37-38) are leaning heavily on him as their everyday starting left fielder, especially with Griffin Conine currently sidelined on the injured list.
His recent hot streak is a welcome sight after a slow start that dragged his season average down to .226, though his career-best 25 home runs last season proves the upside is real. Our models project him to finish with nearly 21 home runs and 55 RBIs, suggesting his power is highly sustainable even if his batting average fluctuates.
With three games remaining this week at home against San Francisco, Stowers faces a highly favorable run of matchups. He is scheduled to face Trevor McDonald (4.64 ERA) and Adrian Houser (5.94 ERA), making him a fantastic fantasy option despite a tougher matchup against Logan Webb. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Paul Goldschmidt
Goldschmidt is hitting like his MVP self during a scorching June surge for the first-place Yankees
Paul Goldschmidt is experiencing a massive resurgence in the Bronx, cementing his role as the everyday starting first baseman for the division-leading Yankees. Despite entering his late 30s, Goldschmidt has revitalized his fantasy outlook by hitting .301 with 11 home runs and 36 RBIs over his first 47 games. With key outfielders Aaron Judge and Trent Grisham currently sidelined on the injured list, Goldschmidt has been forced into an even more prominent run-producing role in New York's potent lineup.
His elite production completely obliterates our modest preseason projections, which forecasted just seven home runs and a .259 batting average across 433 at-bats. Over the last 14 days, he has been on an absolute tear, hitting .370 with four home runs and 13 RBIs. While his current .391 average over the last week is bound to regress, his underlying power metrics suggest this rebound is entirely genuine, offering fantasy managers elite four-category contribution.
The Yankees have four home games remaining this week, offering outstanding matchups. Goldschmidt will face vulnerable right-handers in Chicago's Sean Burke (4.15 ERA) and Cincinnati's Rhett Lowder (4.60 ERA), alongside southpaw Andrew Abbott (3.84 ERA), before a tough Sunday meeting with Reds ace Chase Burns. Given his current hot streak and the favorable hitting environment at home, Goldschmidt is an absolute must-start.
