Outlook Hunter Greene
Hunter Greene delivers strong performance following return to the Reds rotation
Greene has showcased his high-end strikeout upside over his recent outings, punching out 19 batters across 13 innings in his last 14 days of action. The Reds currently sit in fifth place in the National League Central with a 47-54 record and are navigating various pitching staff injuries, making Greene's presence back in the starting rotation vital. He slots in comfortably as a key starter for the club following his recovery from early-season elbow surgery.
His recent stretch of dominance aligns well with his established career norms and our season projections, which anticipate an ERA around 3.49 and nearly a strikeout per inning. While his 30-day surface ERA has looked slightly inflated due to early rust following his activation, his elite 14.53 K/9 rate over the last month proves his velocity and swing-and-miss stuff remain entirely intact and sustainable.
Greene is projected for a single start this week on July 25th on the road against the Cardinals, squaring off against Andre Pallante, who holds a 4.19 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. St. Louis presents a manageable matchup where Greene can exploit his high strikeout potential. Start.

Outlook Foster Griffin
Foster Griffin continues stellar rotation anchor run for the Nationals
Griffin has been sharp over his last 30 days, posting a 1.04 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP across 26 innings with 22 strikeouts. The Nationals sit in fourth place in the NL East with a 52-51 record while dealing with an extensive injury list that includes starting pitchers like Trevor Williams and Josiah Gray. Despite the revolving door in the rotation, Griffin remains the undisputed staff ace and occupies the top spot in the starting pitcher depth chart.
His dominant stretch is well-supported by his overall 2026 campaign, where he boasts a 2.71 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP through 116.4 innings. While our season projection anticipated a higher 4.17 ERA and more regression, his elite control, high-leverage sequencing, and strong strikeout-to-walk ratio indicate this performance is largely sustainable rather than a temporary fluke.
Griffin lines up for a single start this week on July 25th at home against Arizona, facing opposing pitcher Mitch Bratt, who carries a 5.06 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP in limited action. Given his current ace-level form and a favorable home matchup against a high-WHIP arm, he is an absolute must-start across all formats this week. Start.
