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 Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. remains a high-upside speed threat as he battles through mid-summer slump
Chisholm has hit a speed bump at the plate, slashing just .200 over his last 14 days with 11 strikeouts in nine games. He recently gave fantasy managers a scare with right big toe discomfort, but negative X-rays and his return to the lineup as the everyday second baseman confirm he is healthy. The second-place Yankees are currently 54-42 and riding a four-game win streak, though injuries to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton have left the lineup leaning heavily on his athleticism.
Despite the recent batting average dip, his season-long profile remains productive with 13 home runs and 26 stolen bases through 91 games. He is already exceeding our season projection of 24 steals and remains on a reasonable pace to reach the 20-homer mark. While his .223 average is currently a drag on ratios, our models suggest he is a candidate for positive regression toward his projected .244 mark as his power-speed profile stabilizes.
Looking at the week ahead, the Yankees host the Dodgers for a three-game series starting Friday. Our models project Chisholm to contribute roughly 0.6 stolen bases and a home run over the weekend. Although the Dodgers' pitching staff presents a challenge, the short porch at Yankee Stadium and his aggressive baserunning make him too valuable to bench in standard leagues during this mid-week check-in. Start.
