Outlook Shane Drohan
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 Stephen Kolek
Kolek leverages two-start week to boost his fantasy utility despite looming regression
Slots in as the fifth starter for the fourth-place Royals, Stephen Kolek has been a steady rotation presence. Over his last 30 days, he has excelled with a 2.98 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over 36.3 innings. With rotation mates Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo currently on the injury report, Kolek's health is crucial for the team's depth.
Our models project some regression for Kolek, pointing toward a 4.28 ERA and 1.36 WHIP rest of season. His current 3.19 ERA outpaces his 3.64 mark from last year, but a high hit rate suggests he is dancing out of danger and may face traffic trouble soon.
Kolek is a two-start pitcher this week. Having already earned a win on June 9th against Texas, his remaining matchup on June 14th is against Houston, where he faces a tough opponent in Spencer Arrighetti (2.21 ERA). Our weekly projection expects 13.0 total innings, making him a worthy Start.
