Outlook Jake Bennett
Jake Bennett emerges as a reliable rotation stabilizer amid Red Sox injury woes
Bennett has been sensational lately, posting a microscopic 0.74 ERA and 0.74 WHIP over his last 14 days. He recently dominated the Yankees with 6.1 innings of one-run ball, providing a major lift to a fifth-place Boston squad currently sitting at 37-48. With the Red Sox rotation ravaged by injuries to starters like Garrett Crochet and Connelly Early, Bennett has firmly secured his role as a key starter in the rotation.
Under the hood, Bennett’s recent dominance is supported by elite command, evidenced by a 6.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio over his last two starts. While his career 3.34 ERA and 1.08 WHIP suggest some minor regression is coming, his ability to limit baserunners appears legitimate. Our data indicates he is transitioning from a prospect depth piece to a high-floor fantasy asset who prioritizes efficiency over raw strikeout volume.
Looking at the week ahead, Bennett is scheduled for a single start on July 3 on the road against the Angels. He will face Reid Detmers, who carries a 4.07 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP, representing a manageable matchup for the surging lefty. Given his current form and the favorable park factors in Anaheim, he is an excellent option for managers looking to improve their pitching ratios. Start.

Outlook Carlos Rodon
Carlos Rodon provides rotation stability as a high-strikeout anchor for the Yankees
Rodon has been a reliable presence in the rotation lately, posting a 3.32 ERA and 32 strikeouts over his last 30 days. Despite the second-place Yankees enduring a difficult seven-game losing streak and a record of 48-38, Rodon has remained a steady hand as the number four starter since returning from early-season shoulder surgery. He seems to have moved past the initial command issues he noted in May, though he still issued four walks in his most recent outing.
His current 3.37 ERA through nine starts is significantly better than our season projection of 4.10, though his 1.28 WHIP suggests there is still some underlying volatility. Comparing this to his elite 2025 campaign where he maintained a 1.09 WHIP, it is clear that while the strikeout stuff remains elite at over 10 per nine innings, his control needs to sharpen to reach his full potential. For now, he is pitching like the high-end mid-rotation starter fantasy managers expected.
The left-hander is scheduled for a single start this week on July 4th at home against the Twins. He will face Zebby Matthews, who currently carries a 4.15 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP through 56 innings. Given the team's desperate need to snap their losing skid and Rodon’s high strikeout upside against a Minnesota lineup that can be prone to the whiff, he remains a locked-in fantasy option. Start.
