Outlook Javier Sanoja
Javier Sanoja has become a fantasy juggernaut with a historic RBI and triple binge
Sanoja has been unstoppable lately, slashing a ridiculous .556/.600/1.000 over his last five games with nine RBI and two stolen bases. The 23-year-old infielder recently made franchise history with his flurry of extra-base hits and currently serves as the everyday third baseman for a Marlins squad that sits at 46-41. With a healthy status and a secure role in the lineup, he is finally translating his multi-positional versatility into elite fantasy production.
While his recent 14-day batting average of .483 is due for regression, his season-long .277 mark already exceeds our projection of .261. Given his disciplined approach—only one strikeout in his last 18 at-bats—his contact skills provide a high floor even when the power luck stabilizes. His three home runs on the year suggest he will easily clear our projection of five, especially as he continues to utilize his speed to turn fly balls into triples.
The Marlins conclude a series in Colorado today against Michael Lorenzen, who enters with a ballooning 7.03 ERA and 1.83 WHIP, providing a prime opportunity to finish the series strong. The road trip continues this weekend in Oakland against a beatable Athletics rotation featuring Jack Perkins and Aaron Civale, both of whom carry ERAs north of 5.00. Though he faces a tough Gage Jump on Sunday, Sanoja's scorching form makes him a mandatory play. Start.

Outlook Mickey Moniak
Moniak's power surge makes him a must-start asset in Coors Field
Moniak has been a fireball since his June 22 return from a right ankle sprain, most recently finishing a single shy of the cycle on July 1. While the Rockies currently sit in last place in the NL West with a 34-53 record, Moniak has remained a bright spot, slashing .190/.227/.619 over the last week with two home runs and seven RBI. Despite his status as a depth outfielder, he has consistently occupied the third spot in the batting order since being reinstated.
The power display has been remarkable, as Moniak has already reached our season projection of 14 home runs in just 177 at-bats. While his .271 season average remains solid, his elevated strikeout rate and low walk volume suggest some batting average volatility. However, his current .599 slugging percentage is a significant leap over his career baseline, indicating that the move to Colorado has officially unlocked his high-end prospect pedigree.
The Rockies finish a seven-game homestand this week, providing Moniak with four more games in the thin air of Denver. He faces a very favorable matchup today against Ryan Gusto and his 5.06 ERA before a difficult weekend set against San Francisco. While Logan Webb and his 3.19 ERA present a challenge on Friday, Moniak gets easier looks against Robbie Ray and Tyler Mahle to close the week. Start.
