Outlook Tommy White
Top prospect Tommy White set for highly anticipated debut with the Athletics
The Athletics are reportedly calling up their top third base prospect, Tommy White, for his major league debut this Friday. This move comes at a vital time for a fourth-place Athletics squad that is currently struggling through a nine-game losing streak and holds a 41-55 record. With key infielders Zack Gelof and Nick Kurtz currently sidelined on the injured list, White is expected to step immediately into a primary role at the hot corner.
While White has no major league track record yet, his Triple-A performance this season has been outstanding, featuring an elite .303 batting average with 10 home runs and 64 RBIs. His ability to drive the ball was on full display throughout the early summer, suggesting his power could translate quickly to the big leagues. As a high-pedigree 23-year-old, he offers significantly more offensive upside than the current depth options in the Oakland infield and should be viewed as a high-priority addition.
White is scheduled to make his debut on Friday at home against the Washington Nationals for a three-game weekend series. While specific pitching matchups are not yet finalized, the primary value here is the guaranteed volume of playing time he will receive given the team's current injury situation. Fantasy managers in need of corner infield help should look to catch the potential prospect spark and plug him into lineups immediately. Start.

Outlook Brooks Lee
Brooks Lee looks to ignite the Twins' offense during favorable Chicago road trip
Lee has experienced a recent cooling period, batting just .167 over his last four games for a third-place Twins squad that currently sits at 48-49. Despite the quiet week, he remains the primary third baseman in the lineup and has recently filled in at shortstop, maintaining a high-volume role for Minnesota. With Byron Buxton on the shelf due to a hip strain, Lee’s presence in the heart of the order is vital as the team looks to build on their current two-game win streak.
Under the hood, Lee's 30-day performance of three home runs and a .286 average aligns more closely with our long-term expectations than his recent seven-day slump. Our data shows he has already accumulated 14 home runs through 93 games this season, showcasing a power ceiling that far exceeds his initial projections. His strikeout rate remains manageable, suggesting that his current dip in batting average is a standard mid-season fluctuation rather than a permanent loss of form.
The week ahead offers a prime opportunity for a bounce-back during a three-game series against the Cubs. Lee will face a rotation of vulnerable arms, starting with Colin Rea and his 4.87 ERA, followed by Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga, who both enter the matchup with ERAs over 4.20. Given the susceptibility of the opposing pitching staff and Lee's multi-positional eligibility, he should remain active in most fantasy formats. Start.
