Outlook Travis Bazzana
Travis Bazzana's Red-Hot Bat Makes Him a Must-Start Option
The first-place Guardians have leaned heavily on Travis Bazzana, who has solidified his role as the everyday starter at second base with key teammates like Jose Ramirez currently sidelined. Over the last 14 days, the rookie has hit .282 with three homers, highlighted by a spectacular multi-homer, five-RBI performance. Cleveland continues to lead the AL Central, and Bazzana's steady production in the leadoff spot is a primary reason why.
Bazzana's hot streak is well-supported by his career marks, where he has maintained a .273 batting average and swiped 11 bases through his first 47 big-league games. Our models project him to maintain a .275 average with 12 home runs and 10 stolen bases, proving his early-career surge is no fluke. His blend of advanced plate discipline and emerging power makes him a highly sustainable asset.
Cleveland faces a promising six-game schedule this week, beginning with a road series against the White Sox where Bazzana will draw favorable matchups against high-ERA pitchers like Anthony Kay and Erick Fedde. The week concludes with a home series against Seattle, giving the young infielder plenty of run-producing opportunities. Lock him into fantasy lineups as a confident Start.

Outlook Denzer Guzman
Guzman's recent home run surge and regular playing time make him an excellent weekly option.
Denzer Guzman is red-hot for the last-place Angels (32-47), batting .308 with three home runs and six RBIs over his last seven games, including homering in three consecutive contests. With key teammates like Anthony Rendon and Yoan Moncada on the injured list, the 22-year-old infielder has seized a regular starting role on the left side of the infield.
While our models project a modest .220 batting average rest-of-season, his stellar Triple-A stint (.336 average) and recent major-league success (.271 average in 12 games) hint at real growth. His high strikeout tendency remains a risk, but his elite category contribution in power makes his current hot streak look more like a breakout than a fluke.
Los Angeles has a six-game home slate, facing Baltimore and Oakland. Guzman gets highly favorable matchups against vulnerable pitchers like Trey Gibson (5.81 ERA) and Jack Perkins (6.60 ERA), while only Oakland's J.T. Ginn (3.25 ERA) presents a stiff challenge. With six straight starts on deck, he is an excellent fantasy option. Verdict: Start.
