Outlook Eury Perez
Eury Perez sidelined until after All-Star Break with groin injury
Eury Perez remains sidelined with a strained right groin muscle, with reports indicating an eight-week recovery window that keeps him out until late July. The third-place Marlins, currently riding a four-game win streak, have adjusted their rotation to cover his absence. Perez last pitched on May 27, when he struck out nine over four innings before exiting.
Prior to the injury, Perez exhibited a 4.63 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 12 starts, which is a step back from his stellar 3.28 ERA in 2023. However, his dominant 10.42 K/9 rate suggests his underlying stuff remains elite. He is expected to return to his front-half rotation role and should be stashed on fantasy rosters.
With a zero-point projection for this week's matchups against Texas and St. Louis, Perez cannot be active in any fantasy lineups. He remains a long-term hold in all formats while he rehabs. Verdict: Sit.

Outlook Shane Drohan
Versatile southpaw offers intriguing strikeout upside in swingman role
Shane Drohan slots into the Milwaukee pitching staff as a primary long relief option with the flexibility to make spot starts. At 27 years old, the left-hander brings solid minor league pedigree and a decent strikeout profile to a Brewers team that frequently utilizes hybrid roles to navigate injuries. While he lacks a guaranteed path to consistent starting volume, his ability to eat multiple innings and provide relief depth makes him an important real-life asset for the division-leading Brewers.
From a fantasy perspective, Drohan's projection of a 4.24 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across limited innings suggests some ratio volatility, but his career 9.24 K/9 shows genuine missing-bat ability. Over his career, he has maintained a respectable 3.54 ERA, hinting at a higher ceiling if he can refine his control. He is unlikely to contribute significantly in wins or saves, meaning his fantasy value will be largely driven by strikeout rate and ratio stabilization during multi-inning relief appearances.
Ultimately, Drohan is a deep-league specialist rather than a standard-mixed-league target. His primary value lies in NL-only formats or deep draft-and-hold setups where any active pitcher with decent strikeout metrics has utility. Treat him as a waiver-wire watch list candidate who could quickly gain short-term streaming value if injuries push him into a regular starting rotation spot.
