Shane Drohan’s Versatility and Spot Start Potential Give First-Place Brewers a Massive Boost
Shane Drohan has been outstanding out of the bullpen lately, pitching to a stellar 3.07 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 24 strikeouts over his last 20.5 innings. He currently slots in as the primary long reliever for the first-place Brewers (41-25). With Milwaukee's pitching staff heavily depleted by injuries to key arms like DL Hall and Brandon Woodruff, Drohan's versatility has become indispensable to the team's success.
Comparing his hot streak to our projections, some regression could be on the horizon as our models forecast a 4.24 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. Still, his career 3.27 ERA and 1.17 WHIP suggest he is fully capable of maintaining respectable ratios. His high strikeout upside, highlighted by a 10.54 K/9 over the last 30 days, makes him much more than just a standard middle-relief option.
Looking at the remaining matchups, Drohan is scheduled to make a spot start on June 13 at home against the Phillies and Aaron Nola, who is struggling with a 5.86 ERA. Our weekly projection expects 4.1 innings of work with a sharp 2.81 ERA and 3.3 strikeouts. Due to this favorable matchup and his potential to log bulk frames, he is a fantastic option to plug into lineups. Verdict: Stream.

Outlook Aaron Nola
Can Aaron Nola Bounce Back and Reclaim His Top-Tier Fantasy Status?
Aaron Nola enters the 2026 season looking to put a highly disappointing 2025 campaign behind him, where he stumbled to a 5.99 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 94.7 innings. Despite those uncharacteristic struggles, the 33-year-old veteran remains locked in as a staple of the Philadelphia rotation, bringing a track record of elite durability and high-volume workloads from earlier in his career. His stability within a potent Phillies starting staff keeps his starting rotation job secure, but his status as a reliable fantasy asset hinges entirely on his ability to correct the issues that plagued him last year.
Our projections anticipate a solid bounce-back for Nola, forecasting a 4.15 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 167.0 innings of work. His strikeout ability remains intact, with our models projecting 125 strikeouts, which sits close to his career average of nearly a strikeout per inning. While he may no longer consistently post the elite sub-1.00 WHIP ratios of his peak 2022 season, his ability to limit walks and eat innings gives him a safe baseline. If he can limit the home run ball, which has been a persistent issue, he should easily contribute near-double-digit wins for a highly competitive Philadelphia ball club.
From a draft perspective, Nola's current ADP makes him an intriguing post-hype target rather than an early-round anchor. He is no longer being drafted as a locked-in fantasy ace, which significantly lowers the risk of acquiring him. He represents a classic high-floor, moderate-ceiling mid-rotation option who could easily outperform his draft position if he regains his trademark command. Draft Nola as a reliable number-three starter for your fantasy rotation with the potential to provide high-end ratio stabilization if his cutter and curveball bounce back.
