Outlook Trent Grisham
Trent Grisham looks to shake off a cold stretch as the Yankees continue their playoff push
Grisham has hit a cold spell at the plate over the last 14 days, batting just .184 with a .663 OPS and five strikeouts, though he has chipped in two home runs and four runs batted in. The second-place Yankees currently sit at 57-45 and are riding a one-game win streak, maintaining a strong position in the American League East. Grisham remains the everyday center fielder for New York, though the team is currently navigating significant injuries to key contributors like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
His recent dip in production brings his full-season batting average down to .224, aligning reasonably well with our baseline season projection of a .217 mark and 14 home runs. While his .406 slugging percentage over 82 games shows he can still supply occasional pop, his recent numbers suggest this slump is more of a true performance valley than a complete mirage. Given his track record of high strikeout rates and modest contact, regression to his typical power-dependent utility profile is expected rather than a sudden offensive explosion.
The Yankees face a seven-game week ahead, opening with a home series before hitting the road to take on the Philadelphia Phillies. Grisham will match up against tough arms like Jesus Luzardo, who holds a 3.90 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP, and Cristopher Sanchez, who boasts a stingy 2.71 ERA. With a challenging slate of opposing pitchers and a meager .227 projected weekly OBP, managers should keep him on the bench for now. Sit.

Outlook Joey Ortiz
Joey Ortiz is swinging a hot bat as the Brewers maintain momentum
Joey Ortiz has been swinging a scorching bat over the last 14 days, slashing .323/.417/.645 with two home runs, six runs batted in, and three stolen bases. The first-place Brewers sit atop the National League Central with a 64-38 record and continue to utilize Ortiz as an important piece of their infield mix, currently listed on the depth chart behind Cooper Pratt at shortstop while seeing steady playing time.
His recent tear builds nicely upon his overall body of work and our season projection of a .239 batting average with eight home runs and 12 stolen bases. While his .323 clip over the past two weeks represents a clear surge compared to his seasonal baseline, his underlying skill set provides enough speed and pop to suggest he can remain a productive fantasy contributor without suffering a severe crash.
The Brewers have a six-game week ahead, featuring three home games against the New York Mets followed by a three-game home set against the Colorado Rockies. Ortiz will face opposing starters like Tomoyuki Sugano, who carries a 5.09 ERA and 1.34 WHIP, Ryan Feltner with a 5.48 ERA, and Kyle Freeland holding a tough 7.46 ERA and 1.60 WHIP. With favorable matchups on tap and strong recent form, fantasy managers should lock him into active lineups. Start.
