Outlook Noah Cameron
Noah Cameron looks to steady his ratios in a challenging road matchup against the Rays.
Cameron has struggled recently, posting a 6.92 ERA and a 1.87 WHIP over his last 9.1 innings. This slide comes as the last-place Royals, currently sitting at 32-46 in the AL Central, deal with a wave of rotation injuries. Fortunately, Cameron is past his early-May back tightness and slots in as the number three starter in the rotation.
Despite a rough fortnight, Cameron's last 30 days feature a strong 3.32 ERA and a stellar 0.96 WHIP. Our models project him to finish with a 4.22 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP, which is right in line with his current 4.28 ERA. His excellent 2025 campaign (3.11 ERA) suggests he has the talent to outperform these regression numbers, making him a hold.
Cameron is scheduled for a single start on June 24th on the road against the second-place Rays. He will face Griffin Jax, who carries a 3.66 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. Given this difficult matchup on the road and Cameron's recent ratio inflation, fantasy managers should sit him this week. 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.
