Outlook Tristan Peters
Tristan Peters brings steady contact into favorable late-week matchups
Peters continues to produce solid contact, batting .289 over his last 14 days and .349 across his past 30 games. He remains locked in as the everyday center fielder for the first-place White Sox as they navigate a two-game skid. With outfield injuries thinning Chicago's depth, his playing time is completely secure.
Although his power has cooled after going homerless over his last 12 games, his .283 average and 12 home runs over 140 games demonstrate a genuine rookie breakout. Our models suggest his scorching August pace was bound to regress, but his steady plate discipline provides an excellent baseline. Expect dependable contact and runs rather than sudden power surges.
Chicago finishes the week with four games, beginning Thursday against Pittsburgh's Jared Jones and his 4.46 ERA. The weekend brings three road games against St. Louis, headlined by a prime matchup against Matthew Liberatore, who struggles with a 5.66 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. Take advantage of these vulnerable rotations and lock him in. Start.

Outlook Max Muncy
Max Muncy stays red-hot in the heart of the Dodgers' lineup
Muncy is surging at the plate, slashing .368 with a 1.162 OPS over his last seven games while drawing four walks and launching a home run. The veteran third baseman serves as an indispensable everyday starter for the first-place Dodgers, who enter the weekend riding a seven-game winning streak. With key lineup pieces Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani nursing day-to-day knee soreness, Muncy's run-producing presence in the middle of the order is more critical than ever.
Muncy's late-season power surge is completely legitimate, already blowing past our conservative 15-homer projection with 27 blasts and an .846 OPS across 134 games this season. While his .273 batting average over the past 30 days is above his career norms, his trademark patience and .391 on-base percentage provide a rock-solid floor against any severe regression. Expect him to remain a high-end power source as Los Angeles gears up for October.
The Dodgers wrap up the week with a three-game weekend series against the Marlins in Miami. Muncy has prime opportunities to inflict damage against hittable right-handers Ryan Gusto (4.37 ERA, 1.46 WHIP) and Tyler Phillips (1.35 WHIP) before facing talented ace Eury Perez on Sunday. Given his hot bat and favorable weekend draw, keep him locked into all fantasy lineups. Start.
