Outlook Anthony Kay
Kay struggles with ratios as he holds onto rotation spot
Anthony Kay has struggled lately for the second-place White Sox, posting a dismal 8.31 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over his last 13 innings of work. Despite these performance issues, he remains locked into a back-end starter role in the Chicago rotation, particularly with rotation-mate Noah Schultz currently sidelined on the injured list.
While his recent stretch is highly concerning, our models expect him to stabilize closer to his season projection of a 4.60 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. However, his high career walk rates and a 1.49 WHIP this season indicate he will continue to battle traffic, making him more of a risky streaming option than a reliable roster hold.
Kay already took the loss in his lone start of the week on June 17 against the Yankees, lasting just four innings and allowing four earned runs. With no remaining games scheduled for him this week, fantasy managers should look elsewhere for pitching help. Verdict: Sit.

Outlook Ryan Feltner
Ryan Feltner looks to rebound on the road after a bumpy outing, but remains a risky streaming option.
Ryan Feltner serves as a back-end starter for the last-place Rockies, who are 27-45 in the NL West. After returning from a triceps injury, he posted a solid 3.91 ERA and 0.87 WHIP over his last 30 days, though his most recent start was a rough 4.1-inning blowup. With several rotation mates on the injured list, his role is locked in despite this stumble.
While Feltner’s 0.87 WHIP over the past month is enticing, our models project a 5.25 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 108.0 innings. This expected performance aligns with his career norms and current-season 5.34 ERA. Fantasy managers should expect regression, as his recent low-traffic success is unlikely to hold.
Feltner is scheduled for one start on Tuesday at the Cubs, matching up against Edward Cabrera and his 4.86 ERA. Although the opponent's pitching ratios are generous, trusting Feltner on the road remains a major gamble. With only one start this week, he should be avoided. Sit.
