Outlook Trevor Rogers
Trevor Rogers re-emerges as a fantasy ace during a dominant mid-summer stretch
Rogers is in the midst of a spectacular mid-season turnaround, posting a microscopic 0.75 ERA and 0.91 WHIP over his last four starts. The fourth-place Orioles (46-51) are currently riding a four-game win streak and desperately need this production given the season-ending injuries to starters Chris Bassitt and Zach Eflin. As the staff anchor at the top of the rotation, Rogers has completely reclaimed his role as a high-end fantasy starter.
While his 4.64 season ERA still bears the scars of a rocky spring, his recent metrics are beginning to align with his elite 2025 campaign where he maintained a 1.84 ERA. Our models projected a 3.69 ERA for the season, and his current underlying stats suggest he is finally regressing toward that favorable baseline after overcoming early-season mechanical issues. With his velocity and command both trending upward, this month-long hot streak appears to be a sustainable return to form.
The Orioles travel to Houston for a three-game weekend series starting July 17, and although Rogers is not currently the confirmed probable starter for those specific dates, he is a mandatory lineup lock whenever he takes the mound. Having delivered seven consecutive quality starts, he has moved past his early-season struggles to become a reliable ratio-stabilizer. Keep him active as the cornerstone of your rotation for the second half of the year. Start.

Outlook Shane Drohan
Shane Drohan emerges as a reliable rotation fill-in for the first-place Brewers
Drohan has been sharp recently, posting a 2.98 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP over his last two outings covering 12.1 innings. Despite his official designation in long relief, he has transitioned into a starting role for a Milwaukee squad that leads the NL Central with a 59-37 record. He is currently providing much-needed stability to the rotation with several key arms like Brandon Woodruff and Kyle Harrison sidelined on the injured list.
His performance over the last 30 days, highlighted by a 2.39 ERA and 23 strikeouts, is significantly outperforming our original season projection of a 4.24 ERA. While his career 1.25 WHIP suggests he may occasionally struggle with traffic, his ability to limit damage has been impressive. Given his career 3.21 ERA across 67.2 innings, this recent stretch looks more like a young pitcher finding his rhythm than a total fluke, though some slight regression toward a 3.50 ERA is likely.
The Brewers conclude the week with a three-game home series against the Marlins starting Friday. Following a heavy 83-pitch workload in his most recent start where he threw 6.1 innings, Drohan is not currently scheduled to take the mound again before this scoring period ends on July 19th. While he has been excellent for fantasy managers lately, he won't provide any volume for the remainder of this week. Sit.
