Outlook Carson Benge
Carson Benge maintaining steady outfield role during Mets' second-half push
Benge has shown steady patience and modest output recently, hitting .235 with four stolen bases over his last 14 days of action. The Mets find themselves fifth in the NL East with a 43-60 record, looking to spark some momentum into the final stretch. Benge handles a primary role in right field for New York, though the team is currently navigating various injuries across the roster including Mark Vientos on the injured list.
His recent stretch aligns closely with a developing rookie campaign where he has swiped 16 bases and hit 11 home runs across 99 games overall. While his current batting average sits at .263, his underlying speed profile remains a consistent fantasy asset. The recent numbers suggest he is performing right around baseline expectations, providing steady contributions without extreme fluctuations.
Looking ahead, Benge and the Mets face a six-game slate featuring matchups against the Dodgers in Queens. He will get a look at right-handers Roki Sasaki, who carries a 4.98 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP, alongside Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Emmet Sheehan. With a full complement of six games on the horizon, Benge is a fine depth play or streaming consideration depending on league depth. Start.

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.
