Fantasy Baseball Player News

Carson Benge, OF, New York Mets

New York Mets outfielder Carson Benge has struggled at the plate recently, hitting just .115 over his last seven games. The 23-year-old showed strong form in mid-May with six multi-hit performances across eight games, but his production has cooled since that stretch. The early-career upside remains clear, but consistency continues to be the primary hurdle.

Through 54 games in his rookie season, Benge is slashing .242/.308/.326 with a .634 OPS. He continues to stand out defensively and on the bases, including a 93rd percentile baserunning run value and 98th percentile arm strength. Benge should remain in the lineup regularly as the Mets evaluate their young outfield options, but his fantasy value depends on whether the bat can stabilize.

Luke Raley, 1B/OF, Seattle Mariners

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley continues to show off his impressive power upside. On Saturday, Raley went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a single in the 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Raley has homered in back-to-back games and has three homers over his last five games.

The left-handed slugger has been showing off some impressive power this season with 13 blasts across 53 games. He's mainly a platoon bat right now, sharing right field with Victor Robles. Raley might not play every day, but he offers enough power upside to warrant looking at him in deep leagues.

Fernando Tatis Jr., 2B/OF, San Diego Padres

San Diego Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. went 2-for-5 with a single and a solo homer during Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. In doing so, the 27-year-old snapped a lengthy power drought, as he hadn't previously homered since September 27, 2025. This season, Tatis is slashing .271/.346/.324 with one home run, 18 RBI, 14 steals, a 10% walk rate, and a 22% strikeout rate.

Although his speed had allowed him to maintain decent production in fantasy baseball leagues, his lack of power this year was hurting his fantasy stock and was disappointing for fantasy managers. Now that he has one home run behind him, perhaps the floodgates have opened and he'll be able to consistently tap into more power going forward. He's trending up in fantasy baseball leagues, ranking as the #14 outfielder in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.
