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 Shane Drohan
Shane Drohan provides multi-inning relief for the first-place Brewers while navigating significant traffic on the bases.
Drohan is currently filling a vital role for the first-place Brewers, who lead the NL Central with a 49-29 record and a four-game win streak. He is coming off a June 24 outing where he grinded through 4.1 scoreless innings against Cincinnati, escaping multiple jams despite a high pitch count and significant traffic. Our data shows he is currently serving as a secondary long-relief option, a role made even more critical given the team's lengthy list of pitching injuries.
Under the hood, Drohan's 3.44 ERA over the last 30 days is a solid mark, though his 1.34 WHIP in that span suggests he is playing a dangerous game. This performance is slightly better than our season projection of a 4.24 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. While his career 3.25 ERA indicates he has the talent to remain effective, his tendency to allow base runners—evidenced by his 1.95 WHIP over the last seven days—makes him a regression candidate if his command doesn't sharpen.
Looking at the remainder of the week, the Brewers host the Cubs for a three-game set starting today, June 26. Since Drohan pitched on Wednesday, he will likely be available for multi-inning relief appearances rather than a traditional start. Chicago's probable starter for Friday, Colin Rea, carries a 5.14 ERA, which could lead to high-scoring games where Drohan’s volume is needed. However, given the walk risks and limited win potential in his current role, he is a risky play. Verdict: Sit.
