Outlook Brandon Young
Brandon Young continues outstanding run as Orioles' rotation savior
Brandon Young is enjoying a superb stretch, posting a sparkling 2.22 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over his last 30 days for the fourth-place Orioles. He recently stifled the Dodgers on Father's Day, yielding just one run over five frames. With Chris Bassitt and several other Baltimore starters currently sidelined on the injured list, Young has firmly cemented his role as a crucial mid-rotation staple.
While his current 3.60 ERA is a massive step forward from his 6.45 ERA last year, our models project some moderate regression toward a 4.50 ERA over the rest of the season. Still, his ability to limit damage is real, having surrendered three or fewer runs in 11 of his 12 starts. Expect him to remain a highly serviceable rotation asset.
Young is slated for a single home start on Saturday against the Nationals, where he will match up against Foster Griffin, who holds a strong 3.32 ERA. Our weekly projection expects a stellar performance, forecasting Young to yield just two runs over seven innings. Lock him in as a highly viable fantasy Start.

Outlook Emmet Sheehan
Sheehan Looks to Reset Ratios in Challenging Single-Start Week
The first-place Dodgers (49-29) continue to rely on Sheehan as a mid-rotation staple, slotting him in as the number two starter with Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, and Bobby Miller sidelined on the injured list. However, he has struggled mightily of late, posting a discouraging 10.00 ERA and 1.98 WHIP over his last two outings.
While his current 5.53 season ERA is alarming, his strikeout metrics remain strong with 76 strikeouts over 65.1 innings. Our models project him to bounce back toward his impressive 2025 form, forecasting a 3.86 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over the rest of the season.
Sheehan is scheduled for just one start this week on June 28th on the road against the Padres. He draws a tough matchup against Michael King, who holds a strong 3.49 ERA, making the struggling young righty too risky to trust. Verdict: Sit.
