Outlook Ty France
Ty France heating up at the plate for the Padres
France has been swinging a hot bat recently, slashing .400/.462/.943 with five home runs and 11 RBIs over his last 14 days of action. The Padres currently sit in third place in the NL West with a 50-52 record and are relying heavily on his bat as they navigate a lengthy injury list that includes several pitchers and infield depth pieces. France continues to hold down the everyday first base role securely.
This recent tear matches the powerful season projection our data expects from him, confirming that his recent surge is a continuation of his strong 2026 campaign rather than a temporary fluke. His slugging has been elite, heavily outperforming his career averages and showing a massive jump in power production with 15 home runs already on the season. Expect his high contact rates to keep his production stable moving forward.
The Padres face a busy seven-game road trip this week, starting with remaining action against the Braves before moving on to face the Marlins. He will see a tough test against Chris Sale and his 2.06 ERA, but upcoming matchups against weaker Miami arms like Janson Junk present strong opportunities to drive in runs. With seven games on the slate, France is a locked-in option for fantasy lineups. Start.

Outlook Caleb Durbin
Caleb Durbin riding a scorching bat as Boston chases the AL East crown
Durbin has been locked in over the last 14 games, slashing .317 with two home runs and seven runs batted in to help fuel the Red Sox offense. Playing as the everyday third baseman for a Boston squad currently sitting in third place in the division with a 52-49 record, his recent surge has been instrumental during a strong stretch of play. He remains completely entrenched in his starting role despite a flurry of injuries across the team's depth chart.
This recent tear showcases a welcome escalation compared to his overall season projection of a .251 batting average with nine home runs. While his power spike hints at some temporary over-performance relative to his typical baseline, his strong plate approach indicates he can maintain a solid floor for fantasy managers down the stretch. The hot streak is largely backed by hard contact rather than pure luck.
The Red Sox have a busy seven-game slate ahead, kicking off a series against Toronto where Durbin will face right-hander Trey Yesavage, who holds a 3.89 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. He will also square off against ace Dylan Cease and his stingy 2.74 ERA before closing out the week against Kevin Gausman and his softer 4.69 ERA. With plenty of volume on tap this week, managers should confidently lock him into active lineups. Start.
