Outlook Jeremy Pena
Jeremy Pena's steady contact and consistent playing time keep him firmly in the weekly starting conversation.
Pena continues to hold down the everyday shortstop duties for a highly competitive Houston Astros squad. While his recent stretch has been somewhat quiet, his consistent spot in the lineup keeps his fantasy floor high. With no major injuries threatening his status, Pena remains a locked-in daily starter.
Our models project Pena to remain a steady contributor in batting average and runs scored, aligning closely with his career baseline. Although his power has shown some fluctuation, his low strikeout rate and solid contact profile suggest his current baseline is highly sustainable. He remains a reliable, high-floor option.
Looking at the schedule ahead, the Astros face a mix of challenging pitching but benefit from favorable matchups. Pena's consistent playing time and ability to put the ball in play make him a solid option across standard mixed leagues. Lock him in as a reliable option for the upcoming slate. Start.

Outlook Nasim Nunez
Nasim Nunez's red-hot bat and elite speed make him an immediate fantasy priority
Nunez has been on an absolute tear for the fourth-place Nationals, batting an incredible .647 (11-for-17) with three stolen bases over his last six games. The 25-year-old has fully seized the everyday second baseman role in Washington, bringing high-energy defense and game-changing speed to the lineup. With teammate Jacob Young currently questionable with an upper-body injury, Nunez's stability and run-scoring potential at the top of the order are more secure than ever.
While his recent 14-day surge of .429 is a clear outlier compared to his career .234 batting average, his speed is entirely legitimate. Our models project Nunez to restabilize around a .227 average rest-of-season, but his 28 stolen bases on the year highlight his elite, category-winning upside. Because he offers virtually no home run power, fantasy managers must treat him as a specialized speed and runs asset whose hot streak demands attention.
This week, Nunez faces a seven-game slate, beginning with a homestand against the Phillies before heading on the road to battle the Orioles. He matches up against several vulnerable arms, including Aaron Nola (5.89 ERA) and Trevor Rogers (5.48 ERA), though a tough matchup with Cristopher Sanchez (1.80 ERA) will test his plate discipline. With our models projecting nearly three stolen bases over the upcoming week, he is an easy starting option for managers hunting speed.
