Outlook Robbie Ray
Robbie Ray looks to harness his control as he anchors the Giants' rotation this week.
Robbie Ray has limited damage recently with a 1.00 ERA over his last two starts, though his 1.56 WHIP highlights ongoing control issues. He slots in as the number two starter for the fourth-place Giants, who continue to navigate a wave of pitching injuries.
Ray's elevated 7.18 ERA over the last month looks like a fluke compared to his 4.24 season ERA and strong career baseline. Our models project him to stabilize with a 4.18 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP, meaning his recent progress is a step toward his true talent level.
This week, Ray draws a single home matchup on Wednesday against Washington and Foster Griffin. While his high walk rate introduces some ratio volatility, his strikeout upside in a favorable home park makes him worth deploying. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Randy Vasquez
Randy Vasquez faces regression risk but remains a rotation fixture amid Padres injuries
Over his last 14 days, Vasquez has hit a rough patch, posting a 6.34 ERA and 1.76 WHIP across three starts. Despite these struggles, he is locked in as the number three starter for the Padres, who currently sit third in the NL West with a 33-31 record. His rotation spot is incredibly secure with Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove, and several other Padres starters currently sidelined on the injured list.
While his overall 2026 numbers look respectable with a 3.72 ERA over 67.7 innings, his under-the-hood metrics signal trouble. Our models project him to finish with a 4.93 ERA and 1.42 WHIP, indicating that his recent struggles are a regression to his true talent level rather than a temporary fluke.
Vasquez is scheduled for a single road start on June 13 against Baltimore. He will face Chris Bassitt, who has struggled this year with a 5.27 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. However, given Vasquez's poor recent form and the dangerous nature of the Orioles' home ballpark environment, fantasy managers should avoid the matchup. Verdict: Sit.
