Jose Ramirez, 3B, CLE
Ramirez hit a homer and collected two hits for the second day in a row. The 32-year-old third baseman has continued his steady across-the-board fantasy production again in his 13th big league season. He's slashing .302/.377/.533 with 23 home runs and 32 stolen bases. Ramirez's 9.9% K% is the lowest of his career and ranks in the 95th percentile. His durability (played in 152+ games in each of the past four seasons) and versatility continue to make him a sure-fire fantasy asset. Since 2021, his 148 stolen bases rank first, and his 151 homers rank 9th.
Michael Harris, OF, ATL
Harris went 2 for 4 with a double and a run scored on Sunday. The highly disappointing 2025 campaign for the 24-year-old has made a positive turn recently. Harris is riding a five-game hitting streak in which he's batting .455 (10-22) and has hit safely in 16 of his last 18 starts. Still, the .236 average and 70 wRC+ are extremely difficult to stomach at this point in the season. His lack of patience appears to be the biggest issue. His 41.7% Chase% ranks in the 3rd percentile, leading to a 3.0% BB% that ranks in the 1st percentile. Harris's .272 xBA (72nd percentile) is encouraging, but his -22 Batting Run Value ranks in the 1st percentile.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto, SP, LAD
Yamamoto logged his 10th win of the season and dropped his ERA to 2.51 with a 5.2-inning scoreless outing in Tampa. He gave up five hits, walked none, and fanned six on the day. Yoshi was impressive in his rookie campaign in 2024 and has been virtually as effective in 2025. His walk rate is up (2.88 BB/9), but he is getting more groundballs (52.8% GB%), and his fastball has seen significant improvement. Last season, Yamamoto's vFA was a solid, but unsignificant 4.8. So far in more innings in 2025, that number is up to a staggering 13.7. His 20 fastball run value ranks in the 99th percentile, and as a result, he totes a 2.75 xERA (93rd percentile) and .211 xBA (88th percentile).
Jackson Merrill, OF, SD
Merrill went 1 for 3 with a triple and three RBI on Sunday against the Cardinals. He has now driven in at least one run in the last five games, totaling nine in that span. Injury has slowed the 22-year-old in this season, but his sophomore campaign has still been intriguing nonetheless. The plate discipline isn't great (36.8% Chase% and 26.6% Whiff%), but with 41.9% LA Sweet-Spot% (97th percentile) and 12.4% Barrel% (75th percentile), his launch angle is fantastic. Merrill's .266/.324/.418 triple-slash line is nothing to write home about, but his expected stats are encouraging: .284 xBA, .507 xSLG, and .365 xwOBA.
Brice Turang, 2B, MIL
Turang went 2 for 6 with a pair of homers and four RBI on Sunday, giving him five hits and four XBHs over the past two days. The two-homer day was certainly an outlier for Turang; he owns a .109 ISO, but he has 19 stolen bases and swiped 50 last season. With his speed, the 25-year-old could be an interesting fantasy asset if he hits well enough to stay atop the Brewers' lineup. He has upped his average to .275 and OBP to .342 this season, which are numbers that give argument towards a routine place in the leadoff spot for the NL Central leading Brew Crew.
