Outlook Brandon Young
Brandon Young's Hot Streak and Two-Start Week Make Him a Must-Start
Brandon Young is on a phenomenal run, posting a stellar 2.06 ERA and 0.84 WHIP over his last 14 days. The fourth-place Orioles (34-39) have leaned heavily on him due to a depleted rotation with Chris Bassitt, Zach Eflin, and Dean Kremer sidelined. Young has fully seized his opportunity, locking down a vital mid-rotation role.
Young's success has lowered his season ERA to 3.67, a massive improvement from last year's 6.45 mark. While our season projections of a 4.50 ERA and 1.32 WHIP warn of upcoming regression, his fastball dominance and splitter adjustments suggest these gains are real. Fantasy managers should confidently ride his hot hand.
Young is lined up for a highly valuable two-start week, facing Seattle's Logan Gilbert on June 16 and the Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan on June 21. Our models project him to toss 12.1 innings with a 2.99 ERA and 8.8 strikeouts across these matchups. He is a premier starting option for the week ahead.

Outlook Will Warren
Will Warren seeks to navigate traffic as a back-end starter for the first-place Yankees.
Warren slots in as a back-end starter in the rotation for the first-place Yankees, who currently hold a 43-27 record and are riding a two-game winning streak. Over his last 14 days, Warren has run into some heavy traffic, posting a 4.44 ERA and a 1.98 WHIP across 8.1 innings. However, with starting pitchers Max Fried and Clarke Schmidt on the injured list, Warren's starting role remains incredibly secure.
While his recent WHIP is elevated, Warren has enjoyed a strong overall season, posting a 3.47 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP over 70.1 innings. Our models project some regression toward his career norms, forecasting a 4.32 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP rest of season. Still, his ability to pile up strikeouts (76 Ks in 70.1 IP) keeps him highly useful.
Warren has one remaining turn this week on June 20 at home against Cincinnati. He will face Andrew Abbott, who enters with a 3.84 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. Given the single-game volume and a solid home matchup, Warren is a viable option for deeper league managers. Verdict: Start.
