Outlook Andrew Painter
Andrew Painter currently pitching in Triple-A after rough major league stretch
Andrew Painter is currently down at Triple-A Lehigh Valley working on his mechanics after getting optioned following a difficult stint in the big-league rotation. The Phillies currently sit in second place in the NL East with a 57-52 record. The team is dealing with a lengthy injury list that includes arms like Tanner Banks and Brad Keller, but Painter remains out of the active major league picture for now.
His 7.30 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 62.9 career innings highlight significant ratio risk that matches our season projection of a 4.62 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. While he has flashed high strikeout upside with 53 strikeouts, his major league struggles demonstrated that his early-season production was heavily exposed by opponents.
With no active games scheduled on the major league roster this week and zero weekly projection points, Painter is entirely off fantasy radars for the immediate future. The verdict is a clear drop or bench stash only in the deepest dynasty formats. Drop.

Outlook Patrick Sandoval
Patrick Sandoval settling into the Red Sox rotation following a lengthy recovery
Sandoval has shown decent strikeout stuff over his last 14 days, compiling 15 strikeouts across 14.2 innings of work while holding a 3.80 ERA. Currently, the Red Sox sit third in the AL East with a 56-51 record, navigating a heavily depleted roster dealing with numerous long-term injuries to key contributors. Sandoval slots in as a solid mid-rotation option for Boston, securing a steady role in the starting five after returning from an early-season biceps issue.
His recent stretch features a 3.44 ERA over his last 30 days, which aligns closely with our season projection of a 4.44 ERA and points to stable ratios moving forward. While a 1.64 WHIP over that same window highlights some ongoing traffic trouble and base runner prevention challenges, his strong strikeout rate provides a reliable foundation that keeps him afloat for fantasy managers seeking volume.
Looking at the week ahead, Sandoval makes a scheduled start against the Athletics. With opposing pitchers like Jacob Lopez carrying an elevated 6.35 ERA and 1.72 WHIP, the matchup shapes up favorably for the left-hander to rack up respectable numbers. Expect a solid outing with good strikeout potential as he works deeper into games. Start.
