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 Griffin Jax
Griffin Jax finding his groove in the Tampa Bay rotation
Griffin Jax has excelled recently for the second-place Rays, posting a stellar 1.80 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over his last 14 days. Now fully settled into his role as a back-end starter, he has put any earlier back injury concerns behind him.
While Jax has transitioned from the bullpen, our models project a strong rest-of-season with a 3.36 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, and elite strikeouts. This recent stretch of dominance looks sustainable as his high-leverage stuff translates well to starting.
Jax is scheduled for a single start on June 24th at home against Kansas City. He faces a favorable matchup against Noah Cameron, who holds a mediocre 4.20 ERA, making Jax a great option this week. Verdict: Start.
