Sheehan battles command issues as he looks to reclaim mid-rotation stability
The first-place Dodgers are riding a three-game win streak, but Sheehan has struggled to keep pace, posting a 10.00 ERA and a 1.98 WHIP over his last two outings. Despite these recent blowups, he remains a mid-rotation staple for Los Angeles, particularly with teammates like Tyler Glasnow and Bobby Miller on the 60-day injured list. His high-strikeout upside is still present, though his command has recently faltered, evidenced by three walks in his last 3.1 innings.
Under the hood, Sheehan’s current 5.53 ERA is a significant regression from the 3.46 mark he posted in 2025. While his recent form is alarming, our models project him to settle toward a more respectable 3.86 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over the rest of the season. His career strikeout-to-walk ratio suggests these recent struggles are likely a temporary mechanical lapse rather than a permanent loss of skills.
Looking at the week ahead, Sheehan is scheduled for a single start this Sunday on the road against the Padres. He will face Michael King, who enters with a strong 3.23 ERA and 1.16 WHIP, making this a difficult matchup for a pitcher struggling with hits allowed. Given that he has surrendered 12 hits over his last 8.1 innings, fantasy managers should exercise caution. Verdict: Sit.

Outlook Tyler Phillips
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.
