Outlook Dustin May
Dustin May's dominant stretch makes him an essential fantasy option.
Dustin May is absolutely locked in, highlighted by his recent one-hit complete game shutout and a stellar 3.08 ERA over his last 30 days. He currently slots in as a crucial mid-rotation starter for the second-place Cardinals, who boast a 41-34 record. With no health concerns and his velocity sitting at 99 mph, May is fully secure in his rotation spot.
While our season models expect a 4.21 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP, May's recent 0.79 WHIP over the past month suggests he is significantly outperforming his baseline. This dominant stretch is backed by an improved strikeout-to-walk ratio, proving his command has taken a major step forward. While some regression toward his career 4.36 ERA is possible, he remains a highly productive asset.
May is scheduled for a single start this week on June 26 at home against the Marlins, squaring off against a tough opponent in Max Meyer. Despite facing a strong opposing pitcher, May's incredible current form and elite run-prevention make him an easy active choice. Lock him into your lineups as a confident active option.

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.
