Outlook Griffin Jax
Griffin Jax thrives in rotation role with elite strikeout production
Jax is excelling for the second-place Rays (45-33), who enter today on a two-game winning streak. Over his last 14 days, he has maintained a dominant 1.20 ERA and 1.07 WHIP while striking out 17 batters across 15 innings of work. He is currently entrenched as the number four starter in the rotation, a role that remains secure with teammates Steven Matz and Ryan Pepiot currently sidelined on the injured list.
Our data projects a 3.36 ERA and 1.10 WHIP for Jax, figures he has actually outperformed during his recent hot stretch. While his season-long 1.37 WHIP indicates some earlier volatility, his high strikeout upside suggests his recent surge is sustainable. As he continues to transition from a hybrid role to a permanent rotation fixture, expect his ratios to stabilize closer to our projected marks as his command remains sharp.
Jax already provided fantasy value this week with a strong five-inning performance against Kansas City on June 24th, where he allowed zero earned runs and struck out seven. With the Rays hosting Arizona this weekend, Jax is not scheduled for a second start this scoring period but remains a priority hold in all formats. He should be kept in lineups for his next turn against the Diamondbacks' rotation. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Trevor Rogers
Trevor Rogers Rediscovers Ace Form with Dominant June Stretch
Rogers has been sensational lately, highlighted by a seven-inning one-hit masterpiece against the Dodgers. Over his last 14 days, he has delivered a 1.38 ERA and 0.77 WHIP, striking out 10 in 13 innings. The fourth-place Orioles (38-44) needed this stability given the long-term injuries to Chris Bassitt and Zach Eflin. Following an early-season illness, he has reclaimed his spot as the staff anchor in the rotation.
While his 5.51 ERA remains inflated by a poor May, his 3.06 ERA over the last 30 days is a far more accurate reflection of his potential. Our data suggests the pitch-tipping concerns noted earlier this season are resolved. When comparing this stretch to his elite 2025 campaign, it is clear he is returning to his baseline as a high-end starter rather than the ratio risk he appeared to be in April.
The southpaw has one remaining start this week at home against the Nationals. He faces Andrew Alvarez, who has been efficient with a 3.34 ERA, but our models favor Rogers given his current momentum and improved strikeout ability. With our projection calling for over seven innings of work and a WHIP under 0.80 for the outing, he should be in all active lineups. Verdict: Start.
