Outlook Jasson Dominguez
Jasson Dominguez is healthy, running wild, and primed for a heavy seven-game road trip
Since returning from the injured list on June 13, Jasson Dominguez has provided a spark for the first-place Yankees, hitting .286 with three stolen bases over his last seven games. With Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Trent Grisham all currently sidelined, Dominguez has locked in an everyday role in the New York outfield. His presence is crucial as the Yankees look to break a brief two-game slide.
While our season projection expects a modest .238 average with eight home runs and eight steals over 345 at-bats, Dominguez's elite tools point to a much higher ceiling. His recent speed surge suggests he is running with confidence following a shoulder injury, putting him on pace to easily exceed his rest-of-season numbers. If he maintains this improved plate discipline, he will quickly solidify his status as a shallow-league starter.
The Yankees embark on a busy seven-game road trip, starting with three games in Detroit before playing four in Boston. While he faces tough assignments against Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize, Dominguez benefits from favorable encounters with high-ERA arms like Framber Valdez and Jake Bennett. With maximum volume on tap and elite power-speed potential, he is an excellent lineup option. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Luke Raley
Luke Raley’s Power Potential Dimmed by Illness and Recent Slump
It has been a rough stretch for Luke Raley, who has struggled with a .091 batting average over his last 14 days while dealing with back tightness and a recent bout with the flu. Despite his setbacks, the first-place Mariners hold a 40-39 record and continue to lean on him as their primary right fielder, especially with teammate Randy Arozarena currently sidelined on the injured list.
While Raley’s recent slump indicates some regression, his 14 home runs in 68 games this season highlight his legitimate power potential when healthy. Our models project him to hit .226 with 12 home runs over his remaining 230 at-bats, which aligns closely with his career baseline. He remains a solid source of cheap power, but fantasy managers must brace for ongoing batting average volatility.
Seattle faces six road games this week, starting with a three-game set against Pittsburgh before visiting Cleveland. Raley has some favorable matchups against high-ERA starters like Mitch Keller (5.25 ERA) and Slade Cecconi (4.61 ERA), but facing tough right-hander Braxton Ashcraft (3.18 ERA) adds difficulty. Given his ongoing recovery from the flu and recent slump, he is best left on fantasy benches.
