Outlook Jhoan Duran
Duran continues to dominate the ninth inning since returning from the IL, making him an elite weekly play.
Since returning from an early-season oblique strain in early May, Jhoan Duran has firmly re-established himself as the primary closer for the third-place Phillies (30-29). Over his last 30 days, he has been virtually untouchable, posting a brilliant 1.64 ERA and racking up 18 strikeouts across 11.0 innings of work.
This dominant stretch of play aligns perfectly with his career baseline, which features multiple seasons of sub-2.40 ERAs and elite strikeout rates. Our models project him to finish the year with 30 saves, a 3.04 ERA, and a 1.13 WHIP, suggesting his current run of high-leverage dominance is entirely sustainable.
The Phillies have a six-game home stand this week against the Padres and White Sox, offering multiple late-inning opportunities against beatable opposing starters like Walker Buehler (4.88 ERA) and Lucas Giolito (4.97 ERA). With a secure grip on the ninth inning, Duran is a locked-in weekly Start.

Outlook Abner Uribe
High-leverage dominance continues for Brewers late-inning arm amid pending suspension appeal.
Abner Uribe continues to secure late innings for the first-place Brewers (35-21), posting a pristine 0.00 ERA over his last 4.0 innings. While he faces a pending one-game suspension, he is currently appealing the decision and remains active in his late-inning role.
Though Uribe's current 4.11 ERA is slightly elevated, our models project positive regression toward a 3.34 ERA and 1.23 WHIP. His underlying raw stuff remains dominant, backed by a strong strikeout rate that aligns with his elite 2025 campaign.
The week ahead features seven total games, opening with four home contests against San Francisco before heading to Colorado. Our projection has Uribe slated for 3.1 innings and nearly three strikeouts, offering ample late-inning opportunities. Verdict: Start.
