Outlook Javier Sanoja

Javier Sanoja continues to thrive as Miami's primary third baseman amid a scorching late-season stretch

Sanoja is on an absolute tear at the plate, hitting .353 over his last 14 days and .344 across the past month with four home runs and 16 RBIs. Firmly entrenched as the everyday starter at third base with Xavier Edwards currently sidelined on the injured list, he has provided consistent offensive sparks for a 72-72 Marlins squad.

While his scorching .429 average over the past seven days will naturally regress, his full-season .289 batting average across 126 games validates a massive breakout compared to our initial .261 baseline projection. His elite bat-to-ball profile is evidenced by just 33 strikeouts in 388 at-bats, cementing his high-contact floor as completely genuine rather than lucky.

Miami enjoys a favorable six-game homestand this week, beginning with prime targets against Mets arms Sean Manaea (5.00 ERA) and Robert Stock (5.81 ERA). While the weekend slate turns significantly tougher against Dodgers aces Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow, Sanoja’s red-hot form and guaranteed everyday at-bats make him an easy fantasy choice. Start.

Outlook Spencer Jones

Spencer Jones stays scorching hot as an everyday fixture in the Yankees' outfield

Jones has been scorching at the plate, hitting .300 with two home runs over the last 14 days and posting a .905 OPS across his past 30 games. With Aaron Judge and Trent Grisham both sidelined on the injured list, he has secured everyday outfield duties for the second-place, 81-62 Yankees. His explosive power-speed combo was on full display this past week with seven RBIs and a stolen base.

While Jones is batting just .246 with 80 strikeouts in 70 games on the season, his recent offensive surge reflects meaningful adjustments at the plate. His swing-and-miss tendencies keep his batting average floor volatile, but his blend of nine home runs and nine stolen bases shows legitimate category juice. Expect slight batting average regression, but his extra-base punch and speed are here to stay.

The week ahead offers a mouthwatering six-game homestand in the Bronx. Jones opens against a vulnerable Rockies staff featuring Gabriel Hughes (6.19 ERA) and Ryan Feltner (6.04 ERA), followed by a Mets series where only Nolan McLean (3.06 ERA) poses a major hurdle. Lock him in as a premier high-upside play across all formats this week. Start.
