Colorado Rockies rookie first baseman TJ Rumfield has become one of the hottest hitters available. The 26-year-old has recorded two hits in each of his past four games and is batting .379/.455/.741 with four home runs, 13 RBI, and eight runs over his last 15 contests. That surge has lifted his season line to .291/.370/.491 with 12 homers and 44 RBI across 285 at-bats. Rumfield's production is worth chasing, even with some regression risk. His .250 expected batting average and .393 expected slugging percentage trail his actual marks, and he has not stolen a base. Still, Colorado continues to use him as its regular first baseman, and the recent production is difficult to ignore. Rostered in 41% of Yahoo leagues and listed by RotoBaller as a 12-team add, Rumfield is a strong pickup for fantasy managers seeking batting average, power, and RBI help.

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery is starting to settle in after a memorable walk-off homer in his June 9 debut. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, June 27, and launched his second big-league homer three days earlier. Through 57 at-bats, the 23-year-old is hitting .246 with two homers, eight RBI, and 10 runs. Chicago is giving Montgomery enough runway to work through his growing pains. He hit .314/.422/.548 with 10 homers, 41 RBI, 52 runs, and five steals across 56 games between Double-A and Triple-A before his promotion, while his 25.4% strikeout rate in the majors shows the adjustment is not finished. He is rostered in 17% of Yahoo leagues, ranks 27th in RotoBaller's Week 14 waiver rankings, and carries an add recommendation in 12-team leagues. The everyday role and prospect pedigree make him a worthwhile upside bet before his price climbs.

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Bubba Chandler has steadied himself in his past four starts. The 23-year-old held the Seattle Mariners to one run across 5 1/3 innings on June 25 after working six innings of two-run ball at Coors Field on June 19. He hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in his last four starts and has a 2.82 ERA with 18 strikeouts and eight walks during that stretch. The improved run prevention is encouraging, but Chandler has not totally fixed the command issues that have shaped his season. He owns a 4.42 ERA (4.63 FIP) and a 1.39 WHIP with 73 strikeouts and a league-high 46 walks through 79 1/3 innings. He has made 15 starts in 16 appearances, but the walks make him difficult to trust in standard mixed leagues. Chandler is rostered in 62% of Yahoo leagues and is best suited in deeper formats as a matchup-based option.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo showed off his power on June 24, launching two homers and driving in four against the Los Angeles Angels. It was his first career multi-homer game, but Basallo is not living off one big night. The 21-year-old is batting .254 with 12 homers, 36 RBI, and 29 runs across 232 at-bats. His .472 expected slugging percentage and 12.0% barrel rate support the production. The weak side of the profile is clear. Basallo has one homer and a .487 OPS in 56 at-bats against left-handed pitching, compared with 11 homers and an .860 OPS against righties. Adley Rutschman (concussion) is close to returning, which could cut into Basallo's starts behind the plate, but Baltimore has already used him at catcher, first base, and designated hitter. Rostered in 50% of Yahoo leagues and RotoBaller's top catcher add in 12-team leagues, Basallo is a priority pickup for managers who need power at the position.

Reds' SP Chase Burns recorded 10 strikeouts in 6 innings in a 9-7 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday, Jun. 27.

Rockies' C Hunter Goodman had five RBIs going 3-for-5 with three home runs in a 8-5 win over Minnesota on Saturday, Jun. 27.

Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman carried the offense in the team's 8-5 win on the road over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night at Target Field, going 3-for-5 at the plate with three home runs, five RBI, and a strikeout to boost his season batting average to .246 and his OPS to .855. With the monster three-homer performance, Goodman is now up to 25 home runs on the season, which puts him in a tie for second in all of baseball with Yordan Alvarez and Byron Buxton, four homers behind Kyle Schwarber. The 26-year-old former fourth-round pick in the 2021 MLB draft out of the University of Memphis was a first-time All-Star in 2025, when he hit .278/.323/.520 with an .843 OPS, 31 home runs, 91 RBI, and 73 runs scored in 144 games in his first full year in the majors. Goodman is running it back this year and is on pace to reach the rarified air of 40 home runs if he can stay healthy in the second half. He entered Saturday's contest in Minnesota with a .240/.307/.510 slash line, .818 OPS, 22 homers, 42 RBI, 49 runs, and a career-high five stolen bases. Goodman is obviously an elite source of raw power at the weakest position in fantasy, and he isn't slowing down whatsoever.

Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss said on Saturday that right-hander Grant Holmes will be available for the team out of the bullpen in a relief role this weekend, according to Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. If Holmes doesn't pitch in relief this weekend, he will be available to start next week on the Braves' homestand that runs from Tuesday, June 30, through Monday, July 6. Atlanta is giving the 30-year-old a mini-break from a starting role after slowing down of late. He only allowed one earned run in his last outing on June 22 on the road in San Diego against the Padres in a loss, but he went just 4 2/3 frames, and he has allowed 12 earned runs on 23 hits (five homers) while walking 13 and striking out 17 in 21 innings pitched in his last five starts. Holmes hasn't provided much length, either, not going beyond 4 2/3 frames in any of his last three starts. If he does not appear out of the bullpen this weekend, his next turn through the Braves' rotation would come in Tuesday's series opener versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Holmes, who has a 4.17 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and career-low 20.2% strikeout rate in 15 starts this year, will obviously be a shaky streaming option for fantasy managers if he starts that game.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Chase Burns wasn't at his best in Saturday's 9-7 win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday at PNC Park, but he still racked up the strikeouts for his fantasy managers. Burns allowed a season-high five earned runs on a season-high nine hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out a season-high 10 batters in six innings of work for a no-decision. The hard-throwing 23-year-old was hit around a bit by the Bucs, but he still managed to generate 17 swings and misses on 93 pitches thrown, and he has gone at least five innings in all 16 of his starts in 2026 in just his second year in the majors. The former second overall pick in 2024 out of Wake Forest University has been one of the best young breakout arms so far in the first half of the year, and he's been a must-start in all fantasy leagues. Burns now owns a 2.36 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 112 strikeouts and 29 walks in 91 2/3 innings pitched. He'll have a challenging matchup on tap next against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers.
