Outlook Tommy Edman
Tommy Edman riding a scorching hot bat as the Dodgers surge
Tommy Edman has been an absolute machine at the plate over the last 14 days, hitting .379 with a 1.076 OPS, eight runs batted in, and seven runs scored. The first-place Dodgers currently sit atop the National League West with a stellar 65-38 record and a two-game win streak. Edman continues to serve as a versatile piece for the club, sliding across the outfield and infield as needed while maintaining an everyday role during this stretch of high-level production.
His recent offensive explosion significantly outpaces his overall season projections and career baselines, driven by a blistering .421 batting average over his last six games. While expecting a .370-plus average to persist indefinitely is unrealistic, his elite contact skills and placement inside a potent Dodgers lineup suggest his counting stats will remain robust. This hot streak is powered by hard contact and strong plate coverage, making him a reliable fantasy asset rather than a temporary fluke.
The Dodgers face a six-game road trip this week, kicking off a three-game set against the Mets following their series finale against the Phillies. Edman gets favorable matchups against shaky arms like Sean Manaea, who carries a 5.24 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP, and Freddy Peralta, who struggles with a 4.95 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP. With six total games on the schedule and plenty of RBI opportunities batting behind high-on-base teammates, Edman is locked into fantasy lineups across all formats. Start.

Outlook Nasim Nunez
Nasim Nunez continues to rack up elite stolen bases despite quiet week at the plate
Nunez has stayed active on the basepaths over the last 14 days, contributing four stolen bases and scoring seven runs while slashing .310/.355/.310. The Nationals currently sit in fourth place in the NL East with a 52-51 record. Nunez remains the everyday second baseman for Washington according to the team depth chart, providing constant speed despite a heavy laundry list of pitcher injuries on the roster.
His recent hot stretch on the basepaths aligns well with a stellar 37-steal campaign, comfortably outperforming our baseline season projection of 24 steals. While his batting average sits at .250 overall, his elite speed profile and ability to draw walks make his contributions on the basepaths entirely sustainable and extremely valuable for fantasy managers in need of thefts.
The Nationals face a six-game slate this week, starting with a series against the Diamondbacks. Nunez will match up against Eduardo Rodriguez, who brings a solid 2.68 ERA and 1.24 WHIP to the mound, before taking on Mitch Bratt, who struggles with a 5.06 ERA and a heavy 1.78 WHIP. With six total games on the schedule and plenty of running opportunities, Nunez is locked in as a prime weapon. Start.
