Outlook Heriberto Hernandez
Heriberto Hernandez riding strong power surge into a six-game slate
Hernandez has swung a hot bat recently, slashing .282 with four doubles and a home run over his last 14 days of action. The Marlins sit third in the National League East with a 52-51 record while dealing with multiple injuries across the roster, including absences to key depth pieces. Hernandez continues to lock down the primary role in left field, securing regular at-bats in the middle of the order.
His recent hot streak is backed by a solid .474 slugging percentage and 13 total home runs on the campaign, showing real power gains compared to his baseline expectations. While his strikeout rate remains a point to watch, his overall production aligns closely with what our models project for consistent outfield pop.
The Marlins face a six-game week featuring three games against San Diego at home. Hernandez will match up against German Marquez, who carries a 5.24 ERA, followed by matchups against JP Sears and Walker Buehler, presenting a very manageable slate of opposing arms. Start.

Outlook George Springer
George Springer delivers steady production as a lineup anchor for Toronto
George Springer has maintained a solid rhythm at the plate over the past fortnight, batting .250 with a home run and four runs batted in over his last seven games, alongside a stronger .316 average across his most recent week of action. The Blue Jays sit in fifth place in the American League East with a 46-56 record. Springer occupies the primary designated hitter role in the lineup, avoiding any major lingering issues following earlier season toe concerns.
His current in-season performance aligns well with our baseline expectations, tracking closely with his overall season projection of 14 home runs and a .262 batting average. While his power output has tapered compared to his stellar 2025 campaign where he slugged 36 homers, his sustained plate discipline and steady contact indicate this current stretch is a reliable baseline rather than a temporary hot streak.
The Blue Jays face a busy seven-game week, opening at home against Tampa Bay before traveling to Boston for a three-game weekend set. Matchups feature a mix of vulnerable arms like Ian Seymour and Patrick Sandoval alongside tougher challenges against Sonny Gray. With seven games on the slate and strong everyday playing time, Springer remains a safe option for managers. Start.
