Outlook Sean Burke
Burke solidifies status as White Sox staff anchor following dominant June stretch
Burke has emerged as the primary starter for the 41-38 White Sox, who currently hold second place in the division and a Wild Card spot. He has been exceptional lately, recording 20 strikeouts over his last 17.2 innings, most recently yielding just one run in a victory over Cleveland on June 23. His reliability is vital for the club as they navigate several rotation injuries to arms like Noah Schultz.
While our season models anticipate a potential regression toward a higher ERA, Burke is significantly outperforming those projections with a 3.81 ERA and nearly a strikeout per inning through 85 frames. His 1.48 ERA over the last week suggests he is in peak form, and while his 1.40 WHIP over the last 30 days is slightly elevated, his ability to limit earned runs makes him a high-end fantasy asset.
With his scheduled start against Cleveland already completed this week, Burke has no remaining games on the schedule for the upcoming series against Kansas City. Given his increased strikeout upside and his role at the top of the rotation, he remains a must-start whenever he takes the mound. Owners should keep him locked in for his next turn early next week. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Robert Gasser
Gasser Emerges as a Reliable Mid-Rotation Asset During Brewers' Surge
Gasser is coming off his most impressive start of the season, tossing six innings with seven strikeouts to earn a victory on June 21. Over his last 14 days, he has posted a dominant 1.61 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP, finally looking like the high-upside lefty the organization has long touted. The first-place Brewers are currently riding a four-game win streak, and Gasser has solidified his role as a key member of the starting rotation.
While his season-long 4.61 ERA remains inflated by early-season struggles, his 10.19 K/9 over the last 30 days aligns much better with our data's expectations for his strikeout upside. The significant improvement in his command—walking only three batters over his last two starts—suggests that this recent hot streak is a sustainable step forward rather than a fluke. Our models project him to settle into a 3.84 ERA as he continues to adjust to big-league hitters.
Looking at the remaining schedule for this week, Gasser is not slated to start during the weekend home series against the Cubs. With Milwaukee utilizing other arms for the next three days, fantasy managers should look toward the upcoming road trip for his next scheduled turn in the rotation. Because our projection shows zero games remaining for him in this scoring period, he is a Sit for the weekend, though he remains a priority hold in all formats.
