Andrew Chafin Stats

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Andrew Chafin tossed a scoreless ninth inning on Saturday to earn his fifth save of the season. Chafin didn't make things easy as he allowed a leadoff single to Shohei Ohtani and wound up loading the bases before inducing a game-ending lineout. Despite the stress in the ninth, Chafin nailed down the save as the A's bullpen seems to have fallen into a full-blown committee in the ninth inning. Sergio Romo earned the save on Friday and Lou Trivino is also in the mix late in games. Chafin has the best numbers of any A's reliever and seems to be the top option for manager Bob Melvin, making him the de facto choice to roster in fantasy for those chasing saves.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Andrew Chafin allowed a run on Wednesday, but managed to hang on and secure his fourth save of the season. Chafin was called on in the eighth inning after Jake Diekman imploded and was able to escape with the lead. Chafin would run into his own trouble in the ninth inning, however, as he allowed a run on two hits and two walks before getting Ryan O'Hearn to ground out to end the game. Chafin hasn't been great lately, but neither has anyone else in the A's bullpen. Chafin should be considered the favorite to earn saves and is the Oakland reliever to roster in fantasy in leagues that reward saves.

Oakland Athletics relief pitchers Andrew Chafin and Sergio Romo combined for one of the worst innings of the season for the A's, as they allowed five runs to turn a feel-good afternoon into a miserable loss. Starter Cole Irvin silenced Texas across seven innings and Oakland had to feel good heading into the eighth inning with a four-run cushion. Romo changed that, however, as he retired just two of the six batters he faced and was charged with four earned runs. Chafin couldn't clean up Romo's mess as he also served up a homer to take the loss. Romo and Chafin had been the most trusted arms in the 'pen for manager Bob Melvin, so it's anyone's guess who gets the next A's save. Former closer Lou Trivino is an option, but keep an eye on Jake Diekman who has eight saves on the season and a 2.93 ERA over his last 17 appearances.
