Outlook Ezequiel Duran
Ezequiel Duran stays scorching hot as Texas continues its playoff push
Duran has been on an absolute tear over the last two weeks, slashing .340/.421/.560 with three home runs, eight runs scored, and 13 RBI across his past 13 contests. With Josh Jung sidelined on the injured list with a calf strain, Duran has capitalized on the everyday opportunity as the starting third baseman for a second-place Rangers squad sitting at 71-73 in the AL West.
This red-hot stretch highlights a career-best campaign for Duran, who has accumulated 17 homers, 11 steals, and 79 RBI while batting .279, completely obliterating our early baseline projections. While his recent .340 average will experience some natural regression, his locked-in everyday playing time and balanced approach show that this late-season production is fully legitimate.
Texas heads out for a six-game road trip this week, beginning with a favorable three-game series in Seattle where Duran will face Kade Anderson and his elevated 5.40 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. The road trip concludes in Arizona with tougher matchups against Brandon Pfaadt and Eduardo Rodriguez, but his elite form keeps him locked into lineups. Start.

Outlook Colson Montgomery
Colson Montgomery provides elite power surge for the division-leading White Sox
Montgomery continues to flash elite pop for the first-place White Sox (75-68), clubbing four home runs over his last 14 days despite a modest .200 batting average. Firmly entrenched as Chicago's everyday shortstop, he recently set the single-season franchise record for homers by a shortstop after reaching 31 on the year.
While his season-long .212 average and high strikeout volume remain liabilities, Montgomery has completely shattered our initial projection of 18 home runs. The low batting average is baked into his profile, but his power output and run production in the middle of the order are entirely legitimate.
Montgomery gets a six-game slate this week, starting at home against Pittsburgh's Bubba Chandler (4.44 ERA) and Jared Jones (4.46 ERA). A weekend series in St. Louis also features a vulnerable matchup with Matthew Liberatore (5.66 ERA), making Montgomery an easy choice to lock into active fantasy lineups. Start.
