Outlook Zac Thornton

Zac Thornton dominant on the mound following scoreless streak extension

Zac Thornton has been lights out recently, racking up 20.0 fantasy points over his last appearance with a stellar 0.00 ERA and a 0.67 WHIP across 6.0 innings. The Mets find themselves in fifth place in the NL East with a 43-60 record, but Thornton's emergence provides a much-needed bright spot amid a slew of injuries to rotation mates like Clay Holmes and Tylor Megill. He currently operates as a key piece of the pitching staff, building strong momentum.

Thornton's early sample size showcases elite ratios and sharp command, highlighted by two strikeouts and just one walk in his recent outing. While it is a brief major league resume, his dominant suppression of hits and runs aligns well with sustainable pitching success, meaning this hot stretch is less of a fluke and more of an encouraging baseline for the young arm.

Thornton is not scheduled for a two-start week this period, but his recent performance keeps him on the radar for fantasy managers looking for ratio stabilization. With matchups upcoming against tough lineups like the Dodgers, monitor his usage closely. Given his current trajectory and strong command, he makes for an intriguing stream or hold option depending on league depth. Stream

Outlook Gabriel Moreno

Gabriel Moreno swings a hot bat and anchors the Diamondbacks lineup

Gabriel Moreno has been swinging a scorching hot bat recently, slashing .351/.467/.486 with 10 runs scored over his last 14 days of action. The Diamondbacks currently sit in second place in the NL West with a 53-49 record and are riding a two-game win streak. Moreno continues to serve as the everyday catcher and holds down a primary role in the batting order for Arizona, helping stabilize the offense amidst various team injuries.

His recent hot streak is supported by an impressive .302 batting average and a robust .396 on-base percentage across 75 games this season, showcasing that his stellar production is built on elite contact skills rather than empty noise. This level of output aligns well with his baseline expectations, meaning fantasy managers should view his current tear as a sustainable display of his high-floor offensive profile behind the plate.

Arizona faces a busy seven-game week ahead, featuring a matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals followed by a series against the Washington Nationals. Moreno will face pitching matchups that include Michael McGreevy, Zack Littell, and Miles Mikolas, presenting plenty of opportunities to exploit favorable pitching against arms carrying inflated ERAs over 5.00.
