As the 2026 MLB season progresses, five pitchers are facing struggles heading into June. Tyler Mahle of the San Francisco Giants has a 9.00 ERA in his last three starts, despite a 2.60 SIERA indicating better performance. Janson Junk from the Miami Marlins is dealing with a 9.39 ERA over 15.1 innings, yet his SIERA of 2.93 suggests he deserves better results.
