Outlook Grant Holmes
Grant Holmes solidifies rotation role for first-place Braves
Grant Holmes has handled a steady rotation load for an Atlanta club leading the division at 59-42. Operating as a solid mid-rotation staple in the team depth chart, he logged five innings last week, allowing three earned runs while striking out two batters. Despite a heavy workload of walks over recent outings, he continues to provide valuable innings for a depleted pitching staff dealing with numerous injuries to starters like Spencer Strider.
His recent performance sits in line with our seasonal data, where he owns a 3.80 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP across 90 innings. While his strikeout rate has dipped to 7.80 per nine innings this year, his ability to suppress hard contact keeps his ratios stable. The elevated walk rate remains an area to monitor for regression, but his overall baseline suggests his current output is sustainable for fantasy managers.
Holmes is scheduled for a single outing this week on the road against the Baltimore Orioles, squaring off against Trevor Rogers. Rogers holds a 4.39 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP, offering a reasonable matchup for the right-hander to secure quality frames. With our weekly projection anticipating around six innings and nearly four strikeouts, Holmes makes a solid streaming or starting option in most formats. Start.

Outlook Shane Bieber
Shane Bieber delivers a stellar scoreless outing as he anchors the Blue Jays rotation
Shane Bieber recently showcased his elite form by tossing six scoreless innings with six strikeouts in a strong performance for the Blue Jays. The team currently resides in fifth place within the American League East with a 46-56 record. Bieber operates as the staff ace at the front of the Toronto rotation, helping stabilize a pitching staff navigating multiple injuries to key contributors like Max Scherzer.
While a small 30-day sample featured a higher ERA of 6.00 and elevated base traffic as he ramped up his workload, his latest outings—including a 0.00 ERA over his last 7 days—point heavily toward positive regression back toward his baseline expectations. Our models anticipate him settling in nicely as a reliable rotation anchor for the remainder of the season.
Looking at the week ahead, Bieber is slated for a single start on Thursday, July 23rd at home against Tampa Bay, squaring off against Ian Seymour, who carries a 5.14 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. With a favorable individual matchup and strong underlying strikeout ratios, Bieber makes for a confident insertion into fantasy starting lineups. Start.
