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 Hunter Goodman
Hunter Goodman's Historic Power Surge Makes Him a Must-Start in All Formats
Goodman has been on an absolute tear, slashing .283/.365/.696 with six home runs and 12 RBI over his last 14 days. The young slugger has fully secured his role as the everyday starting catcher for the fifth-place Rockies. Despite the team's struggles during a 28-47 campaign, his middle-of-the-order presence provides immense fantasy value.
While a high strikeout rate remains a permanent part of his profile, Goodman's elite power is no fluke. Our models project another 20 home runs over the rest of the season, which perfectly aligns with the massive pop that won him a Silver Slugger last year. Expect a neutral batting average but elite, category-winning home run and RBI totals.
Following a Thursday off-day, the Rockies host Pittsburgh at hitter-friendly Coors Field to wrap up the week. While Saturday brings a tough matchup against Paul Skenes, Goodman gets excellent draw opportunities against Bubba Chandler and Jared Jones, who enters with a 6.23 ERA. Lock him into lineups. Verdict: Start.
