Outlook Kyle Tucker
Tucker Shakes Off Slump, Prepares for Favorable Weekend Matchups
Tucker has found his stride over the last seven days, batting .280 with one home run, eight RBIs, and two stolen bases. He is locked in as the everyday right fielder for the first-place Dodgers (48-27), who are riding a three-game winning streak despite injuries to key teammates like Will Smith.
While his .217 average over the last 30 days is disappointing, Tucker's underlying season projection of a .270 average, 26 homers, and 20 steals aligns with his elite career norms. His recent power uptick and active running game indicate a quick return to his high-end baseline.
The Dodgers have three remaining games this week, all at home against Baltimore. Tucker draws incredibly friendly matchups against highly vulnerable, low-usage starters Trey Gibson (5.91 ERA) and Trevor Rogers (6.08 ERA), making him a locked-and-loaded option. Verdict: Start.

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.
