Outlook Nolan McLean
Mets' Rookie Standout Nolan McLean Prepares for Favorable Weekend Start in San Diego
The fifth-place Mets (27-35) continue to rely on Nolan McLean, who currently slots in as the number three starter in the rotation with Kodai Senga on the injured list. While McLean has hit a rough patch over the last 30 days with a 6.16 ERA, he showed grit in his most recent outing, allowing just one earned run over five innings despite battling five walks.
Despite recent bumps that have pushed his season ERA to 4.31, his underlying metrics remain highly encouraging. McLean's elite sweeper and high-spin sinker continue to miss bats, supporting an excellent 10.71 K/9. Our projections expect a strong rest-of-season rebound, forecasting a 3.46 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP.
McLean is scheduled for a single remaining start this week on June 6th on the road against the Padres. He will draw a highly favorable matchup against Griffin Canning, who has struggled to a 7.16 ERA and 1.55 WHIP, making this an ideal spot to stream or start the rookie. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Connelly Early
Connelly Early's recent rotation stability is put to the test with a challenging matchup ahead in New York.
The fifth starter in the Red Sox rotation has been a solid contributor for the fifth-place Boston club, which sits at 26-34. Over his last 30 days, Early has posted a stellar 2.68 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 32 strikeouts across 30.2 innings. With fellow starters like Tanner Houck and Garrett Crochet sidelined, his rotation spot is completely secure.
While his recent 30-day run has been dominant, our models expect some regression toward his 3.34 career ERA and 1.21 WHIP. Our season projection of a 3.72 ERA and 1.21 WHIP suggests his current form is slightly outperforming his underlying metrics, but his strong strikeout rate makes him a viable rest-of-season asset.
Having already pitched on June 2nd against Baltimore, Early has just one start remaining this week on June 7th. It is a highly difficult road matchup against the division-rival Yankees and their ace Cam Schlittler, who boasts a spectacular 1.89 ERA and 0.86 WHIP. Given the tough opponent, fantasy managers should sit him.
