Outlook Carlos Rodon
Carlos Rodón’s late-season resurgence delivers high-strikeout value down the stretch
Rodón has settled in nicely down the stretch, posting a 2.93 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with 12 strikeouts across 9.2 innings over his last 14 days. Holding down a steady rotation spot following his mid-August return from elbow inflammation, the veteran southpaw provides a steadying presence for a second-place Yankees squad (83-62) currently riding a two-game winning streak.
Through 13 appearances spanning 62.6 frames this season, Rodón boasts a 3.16 ERA and 70 strikeouts, comfortably outpacing our 4.10 ERA baseline projection. While his recent sub-1.00 WHIP will see moderate regression due to occasional command lapses and pitch-count limits, his 10.06 K/9 punch confirms that his late-season dominance is far from a fluke.
Rodón is scheduled for a single start this week on Friday at home against the crosstown Mets, squaring off against Nolan McLean and his sharp 3.06 ERA. Our projections expect another effective turn with over five strikeouts and stingy run prevention in the Bronx. Keep him firmly locked into starting pitching slots. Start.

Outlook Anthony Molina
Anthony Molina thrives in surprise rotation role heading into weekend clash with Padres
Since being called up to bolster an injury-depleted San Francisco pitching staff, Molina has impressed, posting a 2.70 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, and 12 strikeouts over 10 innings across his last two starts. Operating as a converted long reliever stepping into the rotation, the right-hander has provided a spark for a fourth-place Giants club currently riding a three-game winning streak.
While his early brilliance in orange and black is encouraging, our models urge caution against assuming this dominance is permanent. Molina carried a bloated 7.47 career ERA across his previous two campaigns, and our projections anticipated a 4.71 ERA and 1.43 WHIP, indicating that heavy regression toward his contact-heavy baseline looms once big-league hitters adjust.
Looking ahead at the remainder of the week, Molina is slated for a home start Friday against San Diego. Squaring off against southpaw Robbie Ray and a dangerous Padres lineup represents a notable test, but Molina's recent form makes him a viable target for fantasy managers chasing strikeouts and wins.
