Outlook J.T. Ginn
J.T. Ginn's spectacular run makes him a must-start option in an injury-ravaged rotation.
Ginn has been sensational, posting a stellar 1.50 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 29 strikeouts over his last 30 days. He slots in as a crucial starting pitcher for the third-place Athletics (28-31), who desperately need his production with rotation mates Luis Severino and Aaron Civale both sidelined with shoulder injuries.
His current 2.96 ERA is a massive leap forward from his 5.34 mark last year, though our models project some regression toward a 4.25 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over the rest of the season. Still, his improved strikeout-to-walk ratio suggests his steps forward are legitimate, making him a strong hold in all formats.
Ginn is lined up for a single start this week on June 5th on the road against the Astros. He will match up against Houston's Peter Lambert, who carries a respectable 3.77 ERA. Given Ginn's magnificent current form, keep him active. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Coleman Crow
Crow Steps Into the Brewers' Rotation But Faces Inconsistent Playing Time and Coors Field Risk
The first-place Brewers (35-21) recently recalled Coleman Crow to help stabilize their pitching staff following Logan Henderson's placement on the injured list with a lower back strain. Crow currently slots in as a solid mid-rotation starter for Milwaukee, having posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 4.0 innings in his last outing.
Through 14.1 career innings, Crow has showcased impressive baseline talent with a 3.19 ERA and a stellar 0.99 WHIP. His 3.00 ERA over his last 30 days is encouraging, but his low strikeout rate of 4.00 K/9 during that span suggests he is pitching to contact, which could lead to regression.
Milwaukee plays four games against San Francisco and three games at Colorado this week. While Crow could potentially fill one of the team's vacant starter slots on June 3 or 4, our models project him for zero starts, and a potential outing at hitter-friendly Coors Field is a massive risk. Verdict: Sit.
