2024 Fantasy Outlook
Chafin has pitched for six different teams over the last four seasons, as there's always a market for steady left-handed relievers. After inking a 1-year deal with Arizona last February, the 33-year-old was one of the D'Backs most trusted relievers early on. He even got some run as the team's closer, tallying eight saves over the first two months. Chafin continued to find success with his slider (.111 BA), which had the 6th-highest whiff percentage (55.8%) in the league for that pitch type. Unfortunately, the southpaw couldn't sustain his early-season success and was traded to Milwaukee at the deadline. He closed out 2023 with a 5.82 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB over his final 17 innings and had his $7.25 million club option for 2024 declined. Chafin should still find work this season based on his experience and handedness, but he may be entering the downswing of his career. Read Past Outlooks

Records first save
Chafin earned a save against the Reds on Saturday by striking out the only batter he faced.
ANALYSIS
Detroit held a three-run lead heading into the ninth inning and turned the ball over to closer Jason Foley. However, the right-hander wasn't effective, giving up a leadoff homer to Spencer Steer and a two-out single to Noelvi Marte. Chafin was subsequently brought in to get the final out of the contest and did so by fanning Santiago Espinal on six pitches. Chafin recorded a career-high eight saves with Arizona last year, but this was his first save this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2018
2017
2016
2015
2014
Chafin only threw 9.2 innings in 2020, so last season was his first pitching with the three-batter minimum rule. In 2019, Chafin faced lefthanders 60 percent of the time, but last year the southpaw faced lefties in just 39 percent of plate appearances. The shift didn't affect Chafin as his OPS against righthanders was a stingy .551 and an even more frugal .473 with the platoon edge. Normally, Chafin's groundball tilt limits homers, but renders a high BABIP. Lasts season, he yielded a customarily low four homers in 68.2 innings, while enjoying a fortunate .232 BABIP. Facing more righthanders did lower Chafin's strikeout rate, so he needed all the luck he could muster. Chafin's 1.83 ERA and .93 WHIP from last season may look enticing, but they are both due a steep correction. There are safer options in leagues where middle relievers are useful.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Trade incoming?
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Diamondbacks could trade Chafin on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The Brewers, Cubs and Twins were listed as possible fits for Chafin, who is making $5.5 million this season and has a $7.25 million club option with a $750,000 buyout for 2024. The left-hander was part of Arizona's closer committee at times this year with eight saves and 12 holds, but his 4.19 ERA and 1.43 WHIP are likely better suited for a setup role or middle relief.
