Outlook Tyler Phillips
Sizzling surface ratios mask underlying regression risks for Marlins righty
Tyler Phillips has carved out a vital role for himself in Miami, currently slotting in as a key mid-rotation starter for a Marlins squad managing a wave of pitching injuries. At 28 years old, the right-hander has capitalized on vacancies in the rotation created by long-term injuries to key starters like Eury Perez. While he has bounced between starting and relief roles in the past, the current landscape ensures he has plenty of runway to pile up starts in the immediate future.
From a category perspective, Phillips is a difficult player to parse for fantasy managers. On one hand, our models project him to throw around 70.0 innings with 65 strikeouts, a decent strikeout rate for a back-end fantasy asset. On the other hand, our data expects a notable regression to a 4.37 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. His high-wire act of pitching with heavy traffic on the bases is highly likely to catches up to him, making him a major risk to bloat your team ratios if his luck turns.
Ultimately, Phillips represents a high-risk, low-reward option in most standard mixed leagues. While his current surface-level numbers might tempt needy managers, his lack of high-end strikeout dominance and elevated walk rate cap his upside. He is best utilized as a deep-league streaming option or bench depth rather than an everyday starter you can rely on weekly.

Outlook Kodai Senga
Kodai Senga's return delayed by nerve irritation, set to resume rehab assignment
Kodai Senga has been sidelined since late April with lumbar spine inflammation and was recently slowed by right arm ulnar nerve irritation during his recovery. He remains out of action for the fifth-place Mets, who currently sit at the bottom of the NL East division. However, our data indicates a positive step forward as he is scheduled to resume his minor-league rehab assignment this Thursday with Double-A Binghamton.
Prior to landing on the injured list, Senga struggled to a 9.68 ERA over five tough starts, but his track record suggests that rough stretch was a fluke. Our season projections remain bullish on his talent, forecasting a solid 3.76 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and 105 strikeouts over 115 innings once he is fully healthy. Given his historic strikeout upside, Senga remains an elite stash candidate who should not be dropped.
Senga will not throw any major league frames this week as the Mets travel to face the Reds and Phillies. Since he is still in the middle of his minor-league buildup, he cannot be activated in any fantasy lineups yet. Keep him safely parked in an injured list slot until he is fully cleared to rejoin the big-league rotation. Verdict: Sit.
