Outlook Chase Meidroth
Chase Meidroth is mired in a late-June slump as the White Sox look to maintain their position in the AL Central race.
The White Sox currently sit in second place in the division with a 41-38 record, but Meidroth has struggled to contribute lately, posting a dismal .136 average with 10 strikeouts over his last seven days. Despite the recent lack of production, he remains the everyday starter at second base, though the team is currently missing the middle-of-the-order presence of Munetaka Murakami due to a hamstring injury.
Our data indicates that while Meidroth's .266 season average is respectable, his recent slide suggests a correction toward our .251 season projection is underway. After flashing decent speed in 2025 with 14 steals, he has only swiped one bag this season, making him almost entirely dependent on his ability to reach base and score runs to provide fantasy value.
The White Sox finish the week at home against Kansas City, where Meidroth is scheduled to face Michael Wacha and Luinder Avila. While Avila's 5.06 ERA presents a favorable matchup on Sunday, Wacha's 1.16 WHIP makes Saturday a difficult assignment for a hitter struggling with contact. Given his current form and the lack of category coverage, he is a Sit for the remainder of the scoring period.

Outlook Cal Raleigh
Raleigh reclaiming power stroke after return from injury
Cal Raleigh has stabilized since returning from an oblique strain that sidelined him for a month, hitting .200 with a home run over his last week of action. He recently moved into seventh on the franchise's all-time home run list, and he continues to serve as the primary backstop for the first-place Mariners. While Seattle is currently on a two-game slide with a 41-41 record, Raleigh remains a fixture in the heart of the order.
His 2026 season stats are currently suppressed by a career-worst hitless streak and his recent IL stint, but our models expect a heavy course correction. While he is currently hitting just .168 on the year, our projection anticipates a rebound toward 30 home runs and 105 RBIs. His .360 on-base percentage over the last seven days suggests his plate discipline is intact, and his massive 65-homer campaign in 2025 serves as a reminder of his elite ceiling.
The upcoming schedule features three remaining road games against the Guardians. Raleigh will match up against Joey Cantillo (4.28 ERA), Slade Cecconi (4.61 ERA), and Gavin Williams. Facing two pitchers with ERAs over 4.20 in hitter-friendly conditions makes this a favorable stretch for the Mariners' slugger. With a weekly projection of 1.5 home runs and 2.3 RBIs, he remains a top-tier fantasy option at a thin position. Verdict: Start.
