Luke Keaschall Surges at the Plate, Providing a Major Spark for the Twins
Luke Keaschall has been red-hot, batting .342 with a stellar .457 on-base percentage over his last 14 days. He remains locked in as the everyday second baseman for the third-place Twins, who enter the week on a two-game win streak. His elite plate discipline—including walking four times against just two strikeouts over the past week—has stabilized Minnesota's lineup.
While his recent .301 batting average over the last 30 days is a significant leap from his .259 season mark, his production is supported by excellent underlying contact. He is projected to finish with a solid .263 average and a strong 20 stolen bases, showing his speed is his primary fantasy tool. Though the home run power is modest, his high on-base percentage provides a very safe weekly floor.
The Twins play six home games this week, starting with a challenging set against the Dodgers, highlighted by a tough matchup against Justin Wrobleski and his 2.72 ERA. However, the weekend brings a highly favorable series against a weak Rockies staff, including Michael Lorenzen and his bloated 7.38 ERA. With plenty of run-scoring opportunities on tap, he is a must-play. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Jake Mangum
Jake Mangum's red-hot average and elite speed make him a priority lineup option as he anchors the Pirates' outfield.
Jake Mangum is swinging a blistering bat, hitting .349 over his last 14 days and securing an everyday starting role in center field with Oneil Cruz sidelined. He has provided a critical offensive spark for the fourth-place Pirates (39-39) as they look to climb the NL Central standings.
While his outstanding .317 batting average is bound to regress closer to our projected .272 season mark, his elite speed is completely legitimate. Having already swiped 13 bases this year after a 27-steal campaign in 2025, his baseline running game remains a highly sustainable fantasy asset.
Pittsburgh has a six-game homestand against Seattle and Cincinnati. While matchups against tough arms like Bryce Miller (1.58 ERA) will limit his upside, Mangum should easily exploit high-ratio pitchers like Brady Singer (5.32 ERA) to generate cheap runs and stolen bases. Start him with confidence.
