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 Trevor McDonald
Trevor McDonald Carves Out a Regular Rotation Role Amid Giants Injuries
The fourth-place Giants, currently holding a 28-41 record, are navigating significant rotation gaps due to injuries to Tyler Mahle and Hayden Birdsong. This has allowed Trevor McDonald to secure a regular role as the number four starter in the rotation. Over his last 14 days, the 25-year-old has posted a solid 3.60 ERA across 10.0 innings, bouncing back from earlier rookie-year bumps to provide stable frames for San Francisco.
Under the hood, McDonald's 4.31 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across seven games this year closely align with our rest-of-season projections of a 4.43 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. His strikeout-to-walk ratio is highly encouraging, with 37 strikeouts in 37.6 innings so far. While he remains susceptible to occasional command lapses, his baseline metrics suggest his current strikeout rate is sustainable.
Looking at the week ahead, McDonald is scheduled for a single home start on June 13th against the Cubs. Our models project him to throw 5.2 innings with a tidy 3.70 ERA and over five strikeouts in this outing. Given his solid strikeout upside and the home ballpark advantage, he is a viable starting option this week. Start.
