Sun Dec 10 202318:12Andrew Chafin Joins Tigers
The Detroit Tigers have agreed to a deal with relief pitcher Andrew Chafin. The left-hander will get a one-year deal worth $4.25 million for the upcoming 2024 season. The deal includes a $6.5 million club option for the 2025 campaign. The veteran southpaw pitched well during his time with the team in 2022. Last season, Chafin posted a 4.73 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and eight saves across 51 1/3 innings. He'll likely be used as a late inning or set-up reliever, which means there won't be a ton of fantasy value here.

Thu Nov 2 202321:38Brewers Decline Their Options On Andrew Chafin, Justin Wilson
The Milwaukee Brewers declined to pick up their 2024 options on left-handed relievers Andrew Chafin ($7.25 million) and Justin Wilson ($2.5 million) on Thursday, making them free agents this offseason. The club also claimed infielder Vinny Capra off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Chafin will get a $725,000 buyout, while Wilson's buyout is worth $150,000. Chafin, 33, wasn't as effective in 2023 with the Brewers and Arizona Diamondbacks, sporting a 4.73 ERA (4.02 FIP), 1.42 WHIP, a career-high eight saves and 63 strikeouts in 51 1/3 relief innings. He had a 5.82 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 17 innings for Milwaukee. Wilson, 36, didn't pitch at all in 2023 while recovering from Tommy John surgery and also suffering a lat strain in the second half.

Wed Aug 9 202308:34Andrew Chafin Takes Tuesday's Loss
Milwaukee Brewers reliever Andrew Chafin came into Tuesday's game in the 10th inning, trying to keep the contest tied at three apiece. However, he surrendered four runs on one hit and two walks, earning the loss against the Colorado Rockies. Chafin, a deadline acquisition, now owns a 4.58 ERA and 1.45 WHIP but has struck out 53 batters over 37 1/3 innings while picking up eight saves and four holds. Now that he's with the Brewers, though, it looks like the southpaw won't be much of a factor in hold situations, and fantasy managers can probably drop the 33-year-old in most formats.

Tue Aug 1 202316:16Brewers Acquire Andrew Chafin From Diamondbacks
The Milwaukee Brewers are acquiring left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, according to a source. It's unclear what the Brewers are sending the D-backs in return. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw picked up a career-high eight saves in 43 appearances out of Arizona's bullpen this year, but he wasn't needed after the Diamondbacks acquired Paul Sewald from the Seattle Mariners on Monday. Along with his eight saves, Chafin had a 4.19 ERA (3.13 FIP), 1.43 WHIP, 18 walks and 49 strikeouts in 34 1/3 relief innings. Devin Williams is the established closer in Milwaukee already, so Chafin won't be entering a committee approach to saves with his new team. It will mean slightly less fantasy value in deeper leagues, although he could still pick up the occasional hold in a setup role.

Tue Aug 1 202315:24Diamondbacks Fielding Offers For Andrew Chafin, Joe Mantiply
The Arizona Diamondbacks have fielded offers from opposing teams for left-handed pitchers Andrew Chafin and Joe Mantiply, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Chagin has made 43 relief appearances this season, posting a strong 3.13 FIP while maintaining a career-high rate of 12.84 K/9. The 33-year-old, who relies heavily on his sinker and slider, is making $6.25 million this season and comes with a club option for 2023. Meanwhile, Mantiply, 32, is controllable through 2026, making him a more intriguing option for teams with a longer-term focus. He has tossed 15.2 innings this season, racking up a 3.23 xFIP, 8.04 K/9, 0.57 BB/9, and 53.2 GB%. Both players are solid bullpen contributors and could give an extra boost to contenders should Arizona choose to trade them.

Tue Jul 25 202308:07Andrew Chafin Loses Monday's Game
Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Andrew Chafin came into Monday's contest against the St. Louis Cardinals in the ninth inning with a 6-5 lead. However, it turned into a disaster when he allowed five earned runs on three hits and two walks over 2/3 innings while striking out a pair. It was Chafin's fourth blown save and third loss of the season, and he's sporting a 4.24 ERA and 1.38 WHIP but is striking out batters at a 32.7% rate across 34 innings. The 33-year-old has been a ninth-inning option all year, recording eight saves, but the Diamondbacks have four arms with multiple saves. Chafin is likely better suited for save and hold leagues, considering his 11 holds so far.

Tue May 30 202300:47Andrew Chafin Earns One-Out Save Monday
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Andrew Chafin notched his eighth save of the season in Monday's 7-5 win over the Rockies. Chafin entered the game in the top of the ninth inning up by two runs with two outs and a runner on first, promptly ending the game with a strikeout. It was odd that Chafin was not called upon to start the inning, although he did pitch the day before. The veteran has provided fantasy value this season, converting all but two save opportunities with a 3.10 ERA and 13.72 K/9. He is worth a roster spot in at least all rotisserie leagues at this time.

Tue May 23 202300:11Andrew Chafin Earns Seventh Save Of Season Monday
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Andrew Chafin picked up his seventh save of the season in Monday's 6-3 win over the Phillies. Chafin came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth up by three. He got the first two outs on strikeouts, allowed a walk, and got the third out on another strikeout. The 32-year-old has split save opportunities with Miguel Castro in May but leads the team in saves for the season while compiling a respectable 3.38 ERA and 13.98 K/9 rate. It does appear that Chafin has the slight edge in the Diamondbacks' bullpen for the time being, making him worth a roster spot in at least all roto leagues.

Thu May 11 202308:19Andrew Chafin Hit With The Loss Wednesday
Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Andrew Chafin was the losing pitcher in Wednesday's 5-4 matchup with the Miami Marlins. The 32-year-old threw one-plus innings, allowing one run on one hit while striking out two. Chafin, the presumed closer in Arizona, came on to protect a 4-4 tie in the eighth to face the heart of the lineup. He then started the ninth inning but gave up a leadoff double to Jesus Sanchez before coming out of the game, with that run eventually scoring. Chafin now owns a 4.61 ERA and 1.32 WHIP but with a 39.0% strikeout rate. The 10-year veteran leads the team with five saves, and fantasy managers should expect him to remain the closer for now.

Wed Apr 26 202318:34Andrew Chafin Converts Fourth Save
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Andrew Chafin was called upon to protect a two-run lead against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The left-hander immediately ran into trouble. He walked the first batter he faced and the following batter reached on a fielding error. Chafin settled down after that and got the next three batters out to earn his fourth save in five attempts. The 32-year-old appears to be the primary option in the ninth-inning for Arizona right now.

Mon Apr 17 202323:15Andrew Chafin Records Third Save
Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Andrew Chafin recorded his third save in Monday's 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Chafin entered the ninth inning with a three-run cushion and needed 12 pitches to strike out the side. Only Drey Jameson and Scott McGough have recorded at least one save, aside from Chafin. With Mark Melancon and Joe Mantiply on the injured list, Chafin has played a vital role as the interim closer. If his efficient performance continues, he could be a candidate to become the full-time closer once the two relievers return. The 32-year-old is perfect through seven innings of work on the season and owns a 0.57 WHIP with three saves. He possesses a 40% K rate and a 10% walk rate. Fantasy managers should pick him up immediately if he is still on the market.

Tue Apr 11 202300:56Andrew Chafin Strikes Out Side, Earns Save Monday
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Andrew Chafin picked up his second save of the season in Monday's 3-0 win over the Brewers. Chafin entered to pitch the ninth inning up by three and delivered a 1-2-3 inning with three strikeouts. The veteran has converted both of his save opportunities and has yet to allow a run with two walks and seven strikeouts in 4 1/3 IP. Teammate Scott McGough has also seen two save opportunities, although he has not pitched well overall and pitched the eighth inning in this one. Chafin has been the best late-inning option for the Diamondbacks so far and is rostered in just 30 percent of leagues, so he is worth a look in deeper roto leagues.

Sat Feb 11 202319:50Andrew Chafin Signs With Diamondbacks
Free-agent relief pitcher Andrew Chafin has agreed to a one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 32-year-old signs a one-year contract worth $6.5 million for the 2023 season. It's odd that the lefty reliever lasted in free agency for this long. He has posted some consistent seasons in the past. Last season, Chafin finished with a 2.83 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 67/19 K/BB ratio across 57 1/3 innings with the Detroit Tigers. The expectation is that he'll compete for the closing role with the Diamondbacks. That being said, he could have fantasy value if he does secure the ninth-inning role.

Wed Jan 18 202314:21Market Heating Up Now For Andrew Chafin
Per a tweet from the New York Post's Jon Heyman on Wednesday, the market for free agent reliever Andrew Chafin is reportedly "heating up now." Heyman tweeted the following: "Andrew Chafin market heating up now. Mets are among teams in on one of the top lefty relievers. They've also talked to Zack Britton (Buck O's connection)." Chafin enjoyed a strong season out of the bullpen for the Detroit Tigers in 2022, pitching to a 2.83 ERA and a 3.06 FIP in 57.1 innings of work. He added 67 strikeouts compared to just 19 walks allowed while finishing with 19 holds, three saves and a pair of pitcher wins.

Wed Nov 2 202219:10Andrew Chafin To Become A Free Agent
Detroit Tigers left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin intends to decline his $6.5 million player option to become a free agent this offseason, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Chafin will be seeking a multi-year deal on the open market, but there's a chance the Tigers could re-sign him. Meanwhile, second baseman Jonathan Schoop doesn't plan on using his opt-out clause and will return for 2023. The 32-year-old Chafin was dominant as a high-leverage reliever this year, posting a 2.83 ERA with 19 walks and 67 strikeouts in 57 1/3 innings in 2022. Opponents hit just 0.85 with a home run and a 60.4 percent swing-and-miss rate against his slider. Chafin also locked down three saves, but it remains to be seen if he'll latch on with a team that will make him a full-time closer entering the 2023 campaign.

Tue Oct 4 202214:54Andrew Chafin Collects Third Save Monday
Detroit Tigers reliever Andrew Chafin registered his third save of the season on Monday. With closer Gregory Soto having pitched in each of the last two games, Chafin was brought on to protect a one-run lead in Seattle in the ninth inning. The veteran allowed a two-out single and a stolen base by Sam Haggerty but struck out Carlos Santana to end the game. The left-hander also struck out Dylan Moore earlier in the inning. For the season, Chafin has now pitched to a 2.84 ERA, a 3.04 FIP, 66 strikeouts, and 18 walks in 57 innings of work. He's also collected 19 holds to go along with the aforementioned three saves.

Mon Aug 1 202215:43Mets, White Sox Looking At Andrew Chafin
The New York Mets and Chicago White Sox are among the teams looking to add a left-handed reliever at the trade deadline, and Detroit Tigers left-hander Andrew Chafin is of interest to both teams, according to sources. He's owed the rest of his $6 million salary this year and $7 million in 2023. The 32-year-old veteran southpaw has been very solid for the Tigers in relief this year, posting a 2.53 ERA and 1.06 WHIP while striking out 39 and walking just 10 hitters in 32 innings of work out of Detroit's bullpen. Chafin has also recorded one save, although he wouldn't be in line for ninth-inning duties with either the Mets or White Sox.

Tue Apr 26 202211:56Tigers Activate Andrew Chafin From Injured List
The Detroit Tigers reinstated relief pitcher Andrew Chafin (groin) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Chafin suffered a groin injury in spring training and opened the regular season on the injured list, so he'll be making both his season and Tigers debut when he gets into a game. The 31-year-old veteran left-hander had an excellent 2021 season with the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics, posting a 1.83 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 68 2/3 relief innings. He should work in high-leverage situations out of the bullpen as a setup man for closer Gregory Soto, which could give him some value in deep holds leagues.

Sun Apr 10 202212:29Andrew Chafin Throws Bullpen
Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Andrew Chafin (groin) threw a light bullpen session on Saturday in Lakeland, Florida, according to manager A.J. Hinch. The bullpen session was the best that Chafin has had this spring, even before his groin injury landed him on the 10-day injured list. "Trending in the right direction," Hinch said. It's unclear when the 31-year-old veteran left-hander will return to make his season debut, but he appears to be making good progress. With the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics last year, Chafin had a 1.83 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, five saves, 64 strikeouts and 19 walks in 68 2/3 relief innings over 71 appearances out of the bullpen.

Wed Mar 16 202211:10Andrew Chafin Gets Two-Year Deal From Detroit
Free-agent relief pitcher Andrew Chafin agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. The deal includes an opt-out clause after the first year. Chafin was fantastic in 2021 with the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics, sporting a 1.83 ERA and 0.93 WHIP while striking out 64, walking 19 and earning five saves in 68 2/3 relief innings. The 31-year-old left-hander also finished with 22 holds in 71 outings. Gregory Soto is already the Tigers ninth-inning man, but Chafin should factor into a late-inning setup role alongside starter-turned-reliever Michael Fulmer. Chafin won't be all that attractive in standard fantasy formats, but he might be worth a flier in holds leagues.
