Outlook Garrett Whitlock
Garrett Whitlock locked in as a reliable ratio stabilizer for the Red Sox bullpen
Garrett Whitlock has been remarkably stingy over his last 30 days, posting a sparkling 0.69 ERA and a 0.38 WHIP while racking up 11 strikeouts across 13.1 innings of work. The Red Sox currently sit third in the AL East with a 52-49 record and continue to rely heavily on Whitlock's high-leverage arm out of the bullpen. Despite a crowded injury report for Boston, Whitlock remains a healthy and stable fixture in the relief corps.
This recent dominant stretch aligns closely with his stellar career numbers and underscores why his current production is no fluke. His season ERA sits at an elite 1.98 with a microscopic 0.88 WHIP, vastly outperforming our baseline season projection of a 3.36 ERA. With 19 holds already secured on the year, he remains a premier asset in formats that reward holds.
The Red Sox face a busy week ahead with matchups against Baltimore and Toronto, and Whitlock is slated for steady relief work out of the bullpen. While he won't be operating as a traditional two-start pitcher, his heavy usage in high-leverage situations makes him a valuable fantasy option. Facing teams with mixed pitching staffs like the Blue Jays presents a balanced test, but his ratios are far too clean to sit. Start.

Outlook Kyle Leahy
Kyle Leahy steps into a two-start week for the Cardinals
Kyle Leahy has been sharp over his last 14 days, posting a 1.00 ERA and a 0.44 WHIP with six strikeouts across nine innings of work. The Cardinals currently sit fourth in the NL Central with a 52-49 record. Leahy slots in as the number five starter in the rotation, and the team continues to manage its pitching depth following the recent addition of Joe Romero to the injured list due to appendicitis.
His recent scoreless and quality outings represent a significant out-performance compared to his baseline season projection of a 4.31 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. While a 0.72 ERA over his last 30 days highlights an unsustainable hot streak, his underlying control has improved, suggesting he can continue to offer solid ratio relief even if some regression hits.
Leahy is scheduled for a two-start week, beginning with a home matchup against Andrew Abbott and the Reds, followed by a second outing later in the week. Abbott brings a 3.81 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP to the mound, presenting a moderate test for Leahy's momentum. Given his current form and a pair of upcoming turns, he is an intriguing rotation option.
