Geraldo Perdomo has flipped from solid defender to a two-way catalyst for the Diamondbacks, driving a late-season charge with a breakout that ranks among the NL’s best. Through 19 homers, 26 steals and a 138 wRC+, his 6.6 fWAR sits behind only Ohtani and Turner in the NL. His improved contact and xwOBA coincide with Arizona’s dash toward a Wild Card, underscoring a breakout that reshapes his fantasy value and the MVP discussion while reinforcing his Gold Glove-caliber defense.

Bo Bichette will miss the remainder of the regular season with a left knee sprain, with a potential postseason return on the table. Bichette led MLB with 181 hits and 44 doubles, sits at .311 with 94 RBI and 18 homers across 139 games. Toronto must navigate without him as they push for the playoffs, altering fantasy projections and post-season lineup expectations.

Toronto rides a strong stretch run toward an AL East title, with a seven-game magic number and the top seed in sight, enabling rest for regulars and a rotation setup for October. Santander’s rehab storyline and Trey Yesavage’s debut add dynamic depth, while the Jays monitor the wild-card chase as Boston, Tampa Bay and Kansas City loom. The club’s playoff history fuels urgency as it aims to finally convert post-season chances that have stung since 2016.

Toronto’s daily banter centers on Trey Yesavage’s call-up, his immaculate inning, and Borucki’s DFA, signaling fresh bullpen churn for the Jays. Brian Roberts’ Toronto-focused apology adds a media subplot that could affect how sluggers and pitchers are valued in dramatic late-season scenarios. The chatter touches Rays and Orioles crossovers, plus a nod to recent Jays rhythm and the lingering impact on fantasy decision-making as the season nears its end.
