Outlook Bryce Eldridge
Bryce Eldridge flashes star potential as he anchors the Giants lineup
Eldridge has been scorching over the last week, hitting .308 with a massive 1.086 OPS and a home run in his last four games. The 41-55 Giants currently sit in fourth place in the NL West but are riding a two-game win streak as Eldridge settles into his role as the primary designated hitter. Despite several injuries to the Giants roster, including the loss of Matt Chapman to an abdominal strain, the 21-year-old continues to see consistent high-leverage opportunities.
While his 30-day average of .210 reflects some youthful growing pains, his recent surge aligns more closely with his impressive .270 season average. With eight home runs already through 54 games, he is nearly at our season projection of 10 homers, suggesting he has significantly more power upside than initially anticipated for his rookie campaign. His 78% contact rate this year is a major step up from his minor league marks, confirming that his recent production is a result of improved plate discipline rather than luck.
The Giants have a light three-game schedule remaining this week, all on the road against the Mariners starting Friday. While the limited volume of games caps his immediate ceiling for the period, Eldridge’s ability to draw walks—totaling four in his last seven days—maintains a high floor in OBP leagues. Given the current lack of healthy alternatives in the San Francisco lineup and his historic power potential, he should remains a fixture in fantasy lineups. Start.

Outlook Kyle Tucker
Kyle Tucker looks to reignite power stroke as first-place Dodgers visit New York
Tucker has navigated an inconsistent stretch, batting .286 over his last 14 days but cooling off to a .091 mark over the past week. He remains the everyday right fielder for the first-place Dodgers, who currently lead the NL West with a 61-36 record despite a recent three-game slide. While previous back issues have been a concern in our news feed, he is currently healthy and locked into his starting role.
Under the hood, Tucker's current .244 average and seven home runs are well below our season projection of 26 homers and a .270 mark. Comparing this to his career history of consistent 30-homer production suggests a significant power correction is likely in the second half. His plate discipline remains a major asset with 48 walks already, indicating that his underlying skills haven't eroded despite the lack of surface production.
The Dodgers head to New York for a three-game weekend series against the Yankees starting Friday. While the matchups against the second-place Yankees are always difficult, the short porch in right field offers a prime opportunity for Tucker to snap his recent home run drought. Our models project him to hit for an improved .276 average over the next three games, making him a mandatory lineup fixture. Start.
