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 Garrett Mitchell
Mitchell secures everyday outfield role for first-place Brewers, primed for big week against high-ERA pitchers
Mitchell is the everyday starting center fielder for the first-place Brewers (46-29) and remains fully healthy. While his bat cooled over the last seven days to a .211 average, he has been productive over the last 30 days with three home runs, 13 runs, and 10 RBIs. He is locked into the lineup with no current injury concerns.
His recent minor slump is a blurb on a solid season where he is batting .243 with five homers. This output aligns well with our rest-of-season projection of a .234 average. If he can cut down on his strikeouts, his elite raw power could fuel further offensive growth.
The Brewers have six games scheduled this week, beginning with a road series in Cincinnati before hosting Chicago. Mitchell faces highly favorable matchups against struggling starters like Brady Singer (5.32 ERA) and Nick Lodolo (6.12 ERA), making him an excellent option this week. Verdict: Start.
