Outlook Spencer Jones
Spencer Jones sparks the Yankees with recent power bursts during short call-ups
Spencer Jones has flashed considerable pop over his last 14 days, driving in four runs and launching a home run despite limited major league action. The second-place Yankees currently sit at 61-47 overall and are managing multiple roster absences, including major injuries to outfielders like Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. While Jones has bounced between Triple-A and the active roster as the 27th man, his recent highlight reel home runs continue to showcase his immense raw power.
His current 2026 small sample size across 35 games features a .226 batting average and three home runs, which generally aligns with the power-heavy expectations in our season projection of 12 homers. The high strikeout rate remains a concern, but his underlying metrics point to elite exit velocities and a sustainable power-speed profile when given the opportunity to play.
The Yankees face a busy seven-game road stretch against the White Sox and Cubs, providing plenty of chances to track Jones' role. He will see matchups against starters like Noah Schultz and Shota Imanaga, who present a mix of high-ERA vulnerabilities and tough ratio management. Given his current part-time deployment and fluctuating status between the minors and majors, fantasy managers should keep him on the bench for now. Sit.

Outlook Royce Lewis
Royce Lewis delivers timely heroics as he anchors the Twins infield
Royce Lewis has shown flashes of productivity lately, posting a .189 batting average with four RBIs and four stolen bases over his last 14 games. He continues to see regular action as an everyday infielder for a Minnesota Twins squad that currently holds a 54-55 record and sits third in the American League Central. The team recently placed Byron Buxton on the injured list due to a hip impingement, increasing the pressure on Lewis to provide a spark in the lineup.
His recent dip in batting average aligns with a career full of high-variance stretches, but his active base-stealing prowess—highlighted by ten total steals on the season—has added unexpected category value. While the power has been quiet over the last two weeks, our season projection of 12 home runs and a .246 average suggests that his overall baseline will normalize closer to a respectable utility and corner infielder profile as the summer progresses.
The Twins face a busy six-game slate this week, opening with a home matchup against Noah Cameron before traveling for a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners. During the Seattle leg, Lewis will match up against tough arms like Bryce Miller, Logan Gilbert, and George Kirby, all of whom boast strong ERAs under 4.00 and stingy WHIP figures. Start.
