Outlook Jac Caglianone
Jac Caglianone dealing with right shoulder soreness following recent hard dive
Jac Caglianone has cooled off slightly over the last 14 days, hitting .265 with two home runs and four runs batted in. The Royals currently sit in fifth place in the AL Central with a 43-60 record, looking to regain momentum. Caglianone recently exited a game due to right shoulder soreness after diving for a fly ball, leaving his availability questionable as the everyday right fielder for Kansas City.
His current performance aligns reasonably well with our overall season projection of a .236 batting average and 14 home runs, though he has already outperformed that power expectation with 16 long balls so far in 2026. While his plate discipline remains a work in progress with 105 strikeouts, his raw power profile is entirely legitimate and sustainable for fantasy rosters.
The Royals face a busy seven-game week ahead, featuring a three-game series against the Tigers where Caglianone will dodge some tough arms including Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize. Given the shoulder soreness and tough matchups on the horizon, caution is warranted. Sit.

Outlook Bo Bichette
Bo Bichette handling steady utility and corner infield duties amidst recent team struggles
Bichette has put together a modest stretch over the last 14 days, batting .222 with five singles and five walks. The Mets currently sit in fifth place in the NL East with a 43-60 record. Bichette continues to handle everyday reps at third base and second base while the team deals with several injuries, including Mark Vientos landing on the injured list with a hand fracture.
His current performance represents a noticeable dip compared to his baseline expectations, hovering well under his career averages and season projections. With a .256 batting average and ten home runs on the year, his recent power output has dried up significantly. However, his strong history of high-contact stretches suggests he could be due for some positive regression toward his usual standards.
The upcoming week features a home slate against the Dodgers, beginning with matchups against Roki Sasaki, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Emmet Sheehan. While facing elite arms like Yamamoto (2.78 ERA) presents a difficult challenge, Bichette remains locked into a busy schedule with six total games on the horizon. Start.
