Outlook Robert Gasser
Robert Gasser is finding his rhythm in the Brewers rotation following a career-best performance
Gasser has shown major growth over his last 30 days, posting a 1.13 WHIP and 24 strikeouts across 26.6 innings. The first-place Brewers currently sit at 59-37 but are weathering a three-game losing streak and a decimated rotation with Brandon Woodruff and Kyle Harrison on the injured list. His recent outing pitching into the eighth inning confirms his arrival as a vital mid-rotation arm for the division leaders.
His 5.44 season ERA is heavily inflated by a rough season debut, but his underlying metrics are much more encouraging for the long term. His 4.80 strikeout-to-walk ratio over the last month is elite and far superior to his 3.07 season mark, suggesting his improved command is a legitimate step forward. Our models project a 3.84 ERA moving forward, which aligns with his career baseline and the dominance he displayed in the minors.
Milwaukee finishes the week with a three-game home stand against the Marlins, who currently sit third in the NL East. While Gasser is not currently scheduled to start one of these remaining weekend games, the team's thin rotation makes him a mandatory roster addition in all formats. If he does not get the nod against a Miami club on its own three-game skid, expect him back on the mound early next week. Hold.

Outlook Zebby Matthews
Command issues and home run regression have cooled the outlook for Zebby Matthews
Zebby Matthews has found the going tough lately, enduring a rough stretch over his last 14 days that includes a 7.06 ERA and a 1.76 WHIP. He remains the fifth starter in the rotation for a third-place Twins squad that currently sits at 48-49. Despite the team’s recent winning ways, Matthews has struggled with command, surrendering six walks over his most recent 10.2 innings of work.
This recent slide aligns more closely with our data than his stronger June performance, as our season projection of a 4.65 ERA suggests he is a back-end rotation filler. Career trends highlight a high home run rate, which continues to cap his upside and threaten his fantasy utility. Until he lowers a walk rate that has recently shown signs of wildness, these volatile outings are likely to persist.
Minnesota travels to face the Cubs this weekend, with the schedule featuring matchups against Colin Rea, Matthew Boyd, and Shota Imanaga. Since Matthews is not currently lined up for a start during this specific three-game window, he offers no immediate value for the remainder of the week. Fantasy managers should monitor the rotation for his next turn but can safely look elsewhere for streaming options in the interim. Sit.
