Outlook Michael Soroka

Soroka Shines in Arizona with Favorable Two-Start Week on Deck

Michael Soroka has been sensational over the last 30 days, posting a sparkling 1.84 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 29.4 innings. His stellar play has been crucial for the third-place Diamondbacks (31-27), especially with rotation anchor Corbin Burnes sidelined on the injured list. Soroka currently slots in as a stable back-end starter in Arizona's rotation and is fully locked into his role.

While this recent run is highly impressive, our models expect eventual regression toward his season projection of a 4.19 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. Still, his current performance is a massive step forward from his 4.89 ERA in 2025 and 4.95 ERA in 2024. His vastly improved control—yielding only five walks over his last five outings—suggests that his fantasy resurgence is supported by better command.

Soroka is lined up for a highly valuable two-start week, beginning June 2 at home against the Dodgers and concluding June 7 against the Nationals. He draws friendly matchups against Eric Lauer (5.95 ERA) and Cade Cavalli (3.62 ERA). Our weekly model projects 12.2 innings with 8.4 strikeouts and a stellar 2.49 ERA, making him an excellent Start this week.

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.
