Outlook Jacob deGrom
Jacob deGrom slated for a two-start week despite recent mixed results
Jacob deGrom enters the week following a rocky outing where he allowed four earned runs over 4.2 innings against the White Sox, bringing his recent 30-day ERA to 4.46 with 30 strikeouts across 22.2 frames. The Rangers currently sit in first place in the AL West with a 51-51 record and continue to navigate multiple injuries to key personnel, keeping the veteran right-hander heavily relied upon in the rotation.
His current overall 3.82 ERA and 1.07 WHIP across 103.7 innings align closely with our season projection of a 3.04 ERA and 1.02 WHIP, indicating that his baseline remains elite despite some recent traffic on the basepaths. While the strikeout stuff is still sharp with 128 punchouts on the year, his recent outings suggest occasional volatility that keeps him from total dominance.
The upcoming schedule features a two-start week at home, beginning with a matchup against the Mariners and Logan Gilbert, who carries a solid 3.44 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. With two starts on tap for the week, his volume makes him a recommended option for fantasy lineups. Start.

Outlook Cade Cavalli
Cade Cavalli delivers six scoreless innings at Coors Field and builds strong recent momentum
Cavalli has been sharp over his last 14 days, striking out 22 batters across 18.0 innings while pitching to a 2.00 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP. The Nationals sit in fourth place in the NL East with a 52-51 record, navigating a busy injury list that includes several arms like Trevor Williams and Josiah Gray. Despite past discipline hurdles, Cavalli remains a key rotation arm for Washington and is coming off a brilliant six-inning, zero-run outing in Colorado.
His 2026 performance features a 3.66 ERA and 127 strikeouts over 108.1 innings, greatly outperforming our cautious season projection of a 4.20 ERA and 100 strikeouts. The spike in strikeout volume and strong control suggest his recent run of success is real rather than a fluke, marking a genuine step forward in his development.
Cavalli made his lone scheduled appearance of the week on July 22 against the Rockies, tossing six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts against Gabriel Hughes, who carries a 2.79 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. With just one appearance on the ledger for the week and no additional starts on tap, fantasy managers should adjust expectations accordingly for the remaining days. Start.
