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.

Outlook Seranthony Dominguez
Dominguez locks down the White Sox ninth inning with stellar recent form
Dominguez has been locked in lately, throwing 3.1 scoreless innings with five strikeouts and a tiny 0.65 WHIP over his last four appearances. His secure role as the primary closer for the second-place White Sox (34-31) is reinforced by injuries to bullpen mates Jordan Hicks and Jordan Leasure. He remains the clear ninth-inning anchor in Chicago.
His recent clean stretch is a welcome sign after some early-season turbulence that left him with a 4.17 ERA. Our models project him to settle in with a 3.90 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 15 saves over 60.0 innings this year. His elite strikeout rate of over one per inning aligns perfectly with his career norm, proving his current run is no fluke.
The White Sox play six home games this week, hosting formidable lineups from the Braves and Dodgers. Although matchups against top-tier starters like Chris Sale and Yoshinobu Yamamoto could limit offensive output, our projection expects Dominguez to deliver a 2.70 ERA, 0.986 WHIP, and another save over 2.1 projected innings. Lock him into fantasy lineups as a reliable closer.
