Andrew Chafin News
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.
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.
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.
