Phillips provides rotation stability for the Marlins during two-start week
Phillips has been a steady presence as the third starter in the rotation for the third-place Marlins, who currently hold a 42-39 record. In his most recent start on June 22, he tossed six innings of three-run ball against Texas, though his recent 14-day stretch has been rocky with a 9.00 ERA. He remains a key part of the active staff, especially with the team currently navigating several long-term injuries to the pitching corps.
Under the hood, our data suggests Phillips is due for some ratio regression as his current 3.21 season ERA sits significantly lower than his projected 4.37 mark. While his 1.43 WHIP indicates he deals with a fair amount of traffic on the bases, his ability to limit home runs has kept him viable in mid-sized leagues. Expect his performance to settle closer to his career baselines as his hit rate normalizes over the coming month.
Phillips is in the midst of a two-start week and is scheduled to return to the mound on June 28 against the Cardinals. He faces a tough opponent in Andre Pallante, who carries a solid 3.70 ERA and a 9-4 record into the matchup. Given the volume of a two-start week and his ability to pitch deep into games, he remains a useful option for managers chasing wins and innings. Verdict: Two-Start Stream.

Outlook Kyle Leahy
Leahy provides rotation stability for St. Louis following a brilliant scoreless start
Leahy is finding his rhythm as a back-end starter for the third-place Cardinals, who currently sit at 42-36 in the standings. He is coming off a gem on June 23 where he tossed 6.1 scoreless innings against Arizona, lowering his ERA over the last 14 days to a respectable 3.68. He has solidified his role as the number five starter for a St. Louis squad looking to gain ground in the NL Central.
Despite the recent scoreless outing, our models suggest some regression may be looming given his 1.53 season WHIP. While his 0.82 WHIP over the last week was elite, his career stats and our season projection of a 1.35 WHIP indicate he typically deals with more traffic on the basepaths. Fantasy managers should enjoy the current ratio stabilization but remain wary of the high hit rate he has allowed throughout most of the 2026 campaign.
Because Leahy already pitched earlier this week on Tuesday, he is not lined up for a second start during the current scoring period. The Cardinals wrap up their week at home against the Marlins, where the lineup will face effective starters like Max Meyer, who carries a 2.80 ERA. Since his volume for the week is already exhausted, he can be safely moved to the bench for the remaining games. Verdict: Sit.
