Aroldis Chapman Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox left-hander Aroldis Chapman was named the American League Reliever of the Year in 2025 for the second time in his career, with the first coming with the New York Yankees in 2019. Chapman defied Father Time this year to win the award at age 37 while also making his eighth career All-Star team. He led all qualified relievers with a 1.17 ERA and 0.70 WHIP in 61 1/3 innings for the BoSox. Opponents hit just .132 versus the veteran southpaw, the lowest average against any qualified reliever. Chapman retired 50 straight hitters at one point during the season, during a stretch that spanned over two months. Unbelievable, Chapman still averaged 99.8 mph with his fastball (ranked in the 98th percentile in baseball) in his 16th season in the big leagues. He proved with Boston this past season that he still has gas left in the tank in what has been a remarkable career.

Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman recorded his 30th save of the season in a 6-4 win over the New York Yankees on Sunday. Chapman was dominant in a 1-2-3 ninth inning, inducing two groundouts before striking out Jose Caballero swinging on a 101 mph fastball to end the game. After he uncharacteristically allowed an earned run in back-to-back appearances before Sunday, the star left-hander returned to form in throwing 10 of 11 pitches for strikes to help Boston avoid a sweep. Chapman has been spectacular during his age-37 campaign, having posted a 1.26 ERA with a .68 WHIP, 82 strikeouts, and 14 walks in 57 1/3 innings.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman has agreed to a one-year contract extension with the organization on Saturday. He'll get a one-year, $13.3 million extension that includes a mutual option for the 2027 season. Chapman has been outstanding with a 1.04 ERA, 0.67 WHIP, and a 74/14 K/BB ratio with 26 saves this season. Somehow, the 37-year-old flamethrower continues to get better with age. This seems like a good deal for Boston to lock up their stopper for at least one more season. Chapman needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats considering he has been arguably the best reliever in baseball.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman (back) is available to pitch out of the bullpen ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins, according to manager Alex Cora. This is good news after Chapman was pulled from Sunday's appearance due to back spasms. Chapman was unavailable on Monday, but is ready to pitch again. This doesn't sound like the type of issue that should linger or impact Chapman on the mound anymore. Fantasy managers should feel fine about plugging Chapman back into their lineups on Tuesday.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman (back) was pulled during Sunday's outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chapman walked the first two batters he faced before getting Shohei Ohtani to fly out. After that, Chapman exited the game with the trainer without much clarity on the injury. According to Christopher Smith, Chapman was removed due to back tightness. Red Sox' manager Alex Cora said he doesn't believe Chapman will require a trip to the injured list and the southpaw should be considered day-to-day. Possibly, Chapman gets a few days off, which could mean closer by committee until he's ready to pitch again.

Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman (undisclosed) exited his appearance against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday with an undisclosed injury. The All-Star southpaw left the mound with a trainer in the eighth inning after walking two hitters and retiring Shohei Ohtani on a flyout. Chapman threw 11 pitches, only four of which were strikes, and experienced a dip in velocity. The 37-year-old's typical fastball has clocked in at 98.5 mph this season, but it only averaged 94.6 on Sunday. The Red Sox and fantasy managers are left to hope this isn't anything serious, as Chapman has thrived this season. He entered Sunday with a 1.31 ERA, a 0.77 WHIP, 61:11 K:BB, and 18 saves in 20 chances over 41 1/3 innings.

Boston Red Sox left-hander Aroldis Chapman said he hasn't talked to the Red Sox about any contract beyond this season, beat writer Rob Bradford reports. Chapman is currently under a one-year, $10.75 million contract with the Red Sox, which is set to expire at the end of this season. Chapman is putting together a great campaign in 2025 thus far, which earned him a trip to Truist Park to be in the All-Star game this year. Chapman owns an impressive 1.18 ERA, 0.76 WHIP, and is holding opponents to a .143 batting average with 17 saves on the season. Even with this level of production, it appears the Red Sox have not yet discussed an extension for the 37-year-old from Cuba. The Red Sox won 10 games in a row leading up to the break and now sit only three games back in the AL East standings behind the Toronto Blue Jays.

Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman put an exclamation point on a great first half of the season in a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. Chapman struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning to slam the door on Tampa Bay and record his 17th save of 2025. Now an eight-time All-Star, the 37-year-old has put up elite numbers across the board. Chapman owns a 1.18 ERA with a 0.76 WHIP and 55 strikeouts against 10 walks in 38 innings. The lights-out lefty has just one blown save, which came back on May 27.

Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman worked a scoreless ninth inning for his 16th save of the season in his team's 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. Chapman allowed a hit but walked none and struck out two batters. The veteran lefty has been brilliant this season for Boston, posting a 1.22 ERA, 0.78 WHIP, and 55 strikeouts in 37 innings pitched. He hasn't allowed an earned run since May 27th and has posted a 27:2 strikeout-to-walk ratio since that date. Coming into 2025 Chapman had recorded four consecutive seasons with walk rates north of 14%, but he's dropped that number to a far more manageable 7.4% this season. As long as he keeps the free passes in check, Chapman has more than enough left in the tank to be a dominant closer for Boston the rest of the way.

Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman converted his 15th save of the year in a 5-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Pitching in the continuation of Tuesday's suspended game, the left-hander tossed a perfect, 12-pitch ninth inning with one strikeout for his 350th career save. Chapman, who has gone 15 straight appearances without yielding an earned run, is showing no signs of slowing down in his age-37 campaign. The seven-time All-Star has blown just one save while registering a 1.29 ERA with 51:10 K:BB and a 0.77 WHIP in 35 innings.
