Outlook Dylan Lee
Dylan Lee remains a stable middle-relief asset for the Braves, though his lack of high-leverage save opportunities limits his weekly appeal.
Dylan Lee continues to provide reliable relief appearances out of the Atlanta bullpen. The Braves remain highly competitive in the division, giving Lee frequent opportunities to enter games in positive game scripts. He currently operates as a primary left-handed setup and middle-relief option, maintaining a healthy strikeout rate while limiting base runners.
Looking at his rest-of-season trajectory, Lee's excellent control and strong strikeout-to-walk ratios support his current performance. While he is unlikely to challenge for saves barring an injury to the backend of the Braves' bullpen, his solid ERA and WHIP should help stabilize fantasy ratios in deeper formats or leagues that reward holds.
In the coming week, Atlanta has a full slate of games, offering Lee plenty of chances to get on the mound. However, as a non-closing reliever, his volume and daily impact remain highly unpredictable on a weekly basis. For standard mixed leagues, he is a Sit this week, though managers in deep NL-only or holds leagues can continue to Hold him.

Outlook Shota Imanaga
Shota Imanaga looks to build on his rebounding form as the Cubs' rotation anchor.
Imanaga has rebounded nicely over his last 14 days, posting a 3.89 ERA and a stellar 1.05 WHIP with 15 strikeouts across 16.2 innings. He has taken on an even larger leadership role for the 39-36 Cubs, who are navigating several rotation injuries to stay competitive in the NL Central. As the undisputed ace of the staff, his stability is paramount for Chicago.
While his current 4.42 ERA is a step back from last year's 3.82 mark, his underlying metrics remain highly encouraging. Our models project a strong rest-of-season finish with a 3.73 ERA and an elite 1.08 WHIP, backed by his steady strikeout rate. Trust his excellent control and career baseline to drive positive regression.
Having already delivered a strong outing on June 15 against Colorado, Imanaga finishes his two-start week on June 21 at home against Toronto. He faces a tough counterpart in Dylan Cease, who holds a 2.71 ERA, but Imanaga's volume and strikeout upside make him an elite option. Start him with confidence.
