Outlook Shane Drohan
Emerging multi-inning weapon Shane Drohan is slated for a two-start week amid Brewers rotation injuries.
Drohan has been sensational over the last 30 days, posting a 1.86 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with 19 strikeouts across 14.5 innings. He is currently filling a crucial long-relief and spot-starting role for the first-place Brewers, who lead the NL Central with a 35-21 record. Rotation injuries to Brandon Woodruff and Quinn Priester have opened up immediate opportunities for the 27-year-old lefty.
While his recent form is stellar, our season projection expects regression toward a 4.24 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. However, his strong career 2.80 ERA and impressive strikeout stuff (11.79 K/9 over the last month) suggest his current success is more than just a fluke. He should continue to provide solid strikeout volume and ratio stabilization even as his luck neutralizes.
This week, Drohan is scheduled for two starts, beginning June 1st at home against San Francisco's Landen Roupp and concluding June 6th at Colorado against Tanner Gordon, who struggles with a 6.37 ERA. Our models project him to pitch 6.0 innings with a 1.78 ERA and 5.6 strikeouts. He is an intriguing option for managers needing pitching volume, making him a viable Two-Start Stream.

Outlook Randy Vasquez
Randy Vasquez Locked into Two-Start Week for Injury-Depleted Padres
Vasquez has found stability in the rotation for the second-place Padres (32-26), who are looking to snap a two-game slide. With key starters Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove, and Nick Pivetta sidelined on the injured list, Vasquez is locked in as the team's number three starter. Over his last five starts spanning 25.5 innings, he has pitched to a respectable 3.88 ERA, rewarding the team's trust.
While his 6.77 ERA over the last 14 days highlights his volatility, his overall 3.37 ERA and 1.26 WHIP on the season show significant growth compared to his career 4.31 ERA. Our models project a rest-of-season regression toward a 4.93 ERA and 1.42 WHIP, but his improved strikeout-to-walk ratio suggests he can outpace those conservative projections if his command holds.
Vasquez is lined up for a two-start week, beginning June 2 on the road against the Phillies and concluding June 7 at home against the Mets. He will face Aaron Nola (5.72 ERA) and Sean Manaea (5.56 ERA), giving him two highly favorable matchups against underperforming opposing pitchers. Fantasy managers should target him as a solid Two-Start Stream this week.
