Outlook Robert Gasser
Robert Gasser finding his groove amid rotation injuries
Robert Gasser recently tossed 5.2 scoreless innings against Cleveland, showcasing improved command with five strikeouts. This strong outing helps bolster a first-place Brewers team (45-26) currently riding a three-game winning streak. With several key rotation pieces like Brandon Woodruff on the injured list, the lefty has solidified his role as a solid mid-rotation starter for Milwaukee.
While Gasser’s recent gem was impressive, his 5.13 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over the last 30 days show he still has hurdles to clear. However, our models project him for a much improved 3.84 ERA and 1.24 WHIP rest of season, closer to his strong 2024 debut. The improved command is real, suggesting his recent blowups were more of a fluke than a trend.
Looking ahead, Gasser has one remaining matchup this week on Sunday, June 21, on the road against Atlanta. He matches up against Grant Holmes, who carries a mediocre 4.33 ERA, making this a winnable game for Gasser. Given his recent momentum and Milwaukee's strong support, he makes a viable plug-and-play option. Verdict: Stream.

Latest News Robert Gasser
Outlook Keider Montero
Montero shows flashes of growth despite recent short outing, but fantasy managers should bench him for the remainder of the week.
Keider Montero has stabilized a depleted Detroit rotation, slotting in as the fourth starter while teammates Jack Flaherty and Reese Olson are on the injured list. Over his last 30 days, the 25-year-old has posted a solid 3.80 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. He remains a bright spot for a fourth-place Tigers team currently holding a 30-44 record.
Montero's 3.80 ERA over 71.1 innings this season marks a major step forward from his career norms. While our models project some regression toward a 4.50 ERA rest-of-season, his improved control and 1.05 WHIP suggest his growth as a rotation weapon is legitimate.
Having already completed his turn on June 16 in a rough, short outing against Houston, Montero has no remaining starts scheduled this week. Fantasy managers can safely leave him on the bench while Detroit hosts the White Sox. Verdict: Sit.
