Outlook Roki Sasaki
Roki Sasaki's blazing fastball is back, making him a primary option for fantasy managers as he trends upward.
Sasaki has found his groove, compiling a superb 2.67 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over his last 14 days. His resurgence is incredibly timely for the first-place Dodgers (38-21), who are currently weathering a storm of rotation injuries with Tyler Glasnow, Bobby Miller, and Blake Snell sidelined. Sasaki has consolidated his spot as a vital starter in this active rotation and is throwing with elite velocity again.
Though his overall season ERA sits at 4.65 with a 1.37 WHIP, Sasaki's underlying velocity gains suggest this recent stretch is no fluke. Our models project him to settle into a solid 4.08 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 115 strikeouts over 119.0 innings for the season. Expect his ratios to continue correcting toward these career-aligned marks as he gains confidence in his splitter.
Sasaki is scheduled for a single home start on June 5th against the Angels. He draws a highly favorable matchup against Reid Detmers, who carries a shaky 4.93 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. Given his rising form and the strong offensive support of the division-leading Dodgers, fire up Sasaki as a confident weekly play. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Justin Wrobleski
Wrobleski's breakout makes him a highly viable weekly starter
Justin Wrobleski has been outstanding recently, highlighted by a dominant seven-inning, one-hit performance in his last start. The first-place Dodgers (38-21) continue to lean on the 25-year-old lefty as injuries to Tyler Glasnow and Gavin Stone have locked him into a rotation spot.
Wrobleski's 2.89 ERA over 10 starts represents a massive step forward from his career baseline. While our models project some regression toward a 4.17 ERA, his surging velocity and improved swing-and-miss stuff suggest this breakout is mostly legitimate.
Wrobleski has a single scheduled start on June 4 against the Diamondbacks. He draws a highly favorable matchup against Ryne Nelson, who carries a 5.00 ERA. Backed by a potent offense, he remains a highly recommended option. Verdict: Start.
