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.

Outlook Ryan Helsley
Ryan Helsley shines in rehab debut but remains sidelined for the upcoming week
Ryan Helsley is taking significant steps toward a return from right elbow inflammation, most recently striking out three in a dominant, scoreless rehab appearance for Triple-A Norfolk on June 11. The fourth-place Orioles (34-39) are currently sliding on a two-game losing streak and desperately need his high-leverage presence back in a bullpen currently anchored by Rico Garcia.
Prior to his injury, the veteran was sharp with a 2.65 ERA and a stellar 13.24 K/9 across 10.2 innings, which aligns with his career baseline as a high-end shutdown option. Our season models project him to finish with 27 saves, 63 strikeouts, and a strong 3.52 ERA, confirming that his elite fantasy upside remains completely intact once he is fully cleared.
Although Baltimore has six road games scheduled this week against the Mariners and Dodgers, Helsley will spend the next few days continuing his minor-league rehab assignment to build up arm strength. Because he is not expected to rejoin the active roster until at least late this week, he remains a mandatory stash but cannot yet be started in active lineups. Verdict: Sit.
