Outlook Shane Drohan
Shane Drohan's versatile relief role and upcoming spot start offer intriguing deep-league streaming potential.
Operating out of the bullpen for the first-place Brewers (40-23), who are currently riding a three-game win streak, Shane Drohan has emerged as a key multi-inning weapon. Over his last 30 days, the left-hander has posted a sparkling 3.07 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 24 strikeouts across 20.5 innings. With DL Hall currently on the injured list with a pectoral injury, Drohan's role as the primary long reliever has locked him into valuable high-volume appearances.
Our models initially projected Drohan for a 4.24 ERA and 1.35 WHIP, but he has significantly outperformed those baseline expectations. Through 13 appearances this year, he has logged a 3.27 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, supported by an excellent 9.30 K/9 rate. His improved control—yielding only five walks over his last 20.5 innings—suggests his current breakout is legitimate rather than a fluke, establishing him as a highly usable ratio stabilizer.
The Brewers have six games scheduled this week, and Drohan is penciled in as the probable starter on Saturday against the Phillies. He'll face a tough matchup against Philadelphia's veteran starter Aaron Nola, who currently holds a 5.86 ERA. Given the single scheduled appearance and the tough matchup, fantasy managers in standard formats should pass, though he remains a viable stream option in deep leagues where his multi-inning flexibility shines.

Outlook Connor Prielipp
Prielipp's Elite Strikeout Upside Offsets Recent Ratio Speedbumps
The third-place Twins are on a two-game losing streak, but rookie Connor Prielipp remains secure as the number two starter in the rotation. Over his last three starts, the young lefty has struggled with a 7.61 ERA and 1.69 WHIP, though he continues to flash elite upside with 19 strikeouts in 14.2 innings. Minnesota will manage his workload cautiously due to his minor-league injury history, but his role is safe.
While his recent ratios are bloated, Prielipp's underlying talent suggests better days are ahead. Our models project a 4.26 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over the rest of the season, which aligns with his career 1.34 WHIP. The elite strikeout rate of over 10 K/9 is entirely sustainable, meaning his recent run of bad luck is a temporary fluke rather than a long-term trend.
Prielipp has one scheduled start on June 13th at home against the Cardinals. He is slated to face Matthew Liberatore, who carries a vulnerable 4.48 ERA and 1.51 WHIP, making this a prime matchup to exploit for strikeout upside. Verdict: Stream.
