Outlook Noelvi Marte
Noelvi Marte flashes explosive power post-recall, but brutal weekend matchups loom
Marte has been on fire since his June 3 recall, batting .265 with three home runs and three stolen bases over his last 14 days, including a three-game home run streak ending June 14. He is currently working as a key depth outfielder for the fifth-place Reds, who are currently playing through several key injuries including Elly De La Cruz.
While Marte's recent power-speed surge is exciting, our models project just eight home runs and eight stolen bases over 497 at-bats, signaling that his recent home run pace is likely to regress. However, his 2025 career line of 14 homers and a .260 average in 93 games demonstrates that his raw talent is legitimate if he maintains regular playing time.
Looking at the remaining slate, the Reds travel to Yankee Stadium for a three-game weekend series against the Yankees. Marte faces a gauntlet of tough opposing starters, including Cam Schlittler and his microscopic 1.82 ERA alongside ace Gerrit Cole, making him a sit in weekly lineups despite his recent hot streak.

Outlook Cal Raleigh
Cal Raleigh is a premiere power source behind the plate with elite home run upside
Cal Raleigh enters the 2026 season firmly established as the primary everyday catcher and a crucial middle-of-the-order bat for the first-place Seattle Mariners. At 29 years old, the switch-hitting backstop is in his physical prime and has proven to be one of the most durable and impactful catchers in the league. While the catcher position is often a fantasy wasteland for offensive production, Raleigh provides a massive developmental advantage with his secure playing time and elite power profile.
Our models project Raleigh to be an outstanding contributor, with a season projection of 30 home runs, 97 runs, and 97 RBIs over 545 at-bats. While his projected batting average of .233 might feel like a slight drag in standard leagues, his exceptional eye is expected to yield a strong .347 on-base percentage. These numbers closely align with his historic 2025 campaign where he erupted for 65 home runs, proving that his elite ceiling is unmatched at the position. He will also chip in a handful of stolen bases to round out his overall category contributions.
Drafting Raleigh around his current ADP of 15.56 represents excellent value for fantasy managers looking to lock down an elite, set-and-forget option at catcher. His high-volume role and premium power output make him a top-tier asset who offers a exceptionally safe floor with league-winning ceiling potential if he replicates his prior slugging heights.
