Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo saw his five-game hit streak come to an end on Wednesday and has gone hitless since, marking a recent downturn after a scorching May. Basallo is hitting just .160 in June after batting .338 in May and earning consistent starting opportunities. He has already recorded over 100 more at-bats than his limited sample size in his first year in 2025 and is receiving the playing time needed to break out. The 21-year-old is slashing .254/.316/.450 with a .766 OPS across 64 games this season and has shown flashes of an elite profile despite his recent struggles. Consistency will be key moving forward, but fantasy managers may want to capitalize on this buy-low opportunity before Basallo finds his rhythm again.

Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz has cooled off slightly while navigating his most productive season as a professional. Horwitz is hitting just .160 over his last seven games, but the overall production remains strong for the 28-year-old. He is slashing .277/.387/.450 with a .837 OPS and nine home runs across 70 games this season. Now in his second year with Pittsburgh, Horwitz has lowered his K% from 17.8 percent to 13.3 percent while increasing his walk rate, showing clear growth in his offensive profile. The recent slump should not concern fantasy managers, who may want to take advantage of this buy-low opportunity before Horwitz gets back on track.

Guardians infielder Travis Bazzana has started to find his rhythm after a slower stretch to begin the month, going 2-for-4 on Friday with a double and a run scored. Bazzana hit .311 in May before cooling off as the calendar turned to June, but recent results suggest he may be turning things around. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft has recorded four hits over his last three games, with three going for extra bases. He is now slashing .256/.356/.427 with five home runs, a .783 OPS, and 11 stolen bases. The 23-year-old has shown steady growth during his rookie season, and fantasy managers should continue monitoring his progress as he looks to build momentum moving forward.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (back) is starting in center field and is batting fifth on Saturday against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers and left-hander Kyle Harrison, according to MLB.com. Harris will be back in the Braves' starting lineup for the first time since leaving Tuesday's contest early with tightness in his lower back. He missed two games. The 25-year-old former National League Rookie of the Year is having one of his best seasons as a pro in 2026, as he comes into Saturday's tilt with a .306/.340/.514 slash line with an .854 OPS, 14 home runs, 41 RBI, 35 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 68 games across his 259 plate appearances. Harris, a former third-rounder in 2019, is also hitting an even .300 (12-for-40) with a homer, three doubles, five RBI, and seven runs scored in 11 games in June. Although he's hit lefties and righties well this year, fantasy managers setting DFS lineups may want to avoid him on Saturday in his return against a tough lefty in Harrison, whom Harris has never faced in his career.
