Chapman Clings to Save Despite Shaky Outing
by Jesse Garcia | Pirates Correspondent | Wed, Sep 11th 7:46am EDT
Aroldis Chapman allowed one earned run on three hits while striking out two to notch a save in Tuesday's 6-4 victory over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite securing his eighth save of the season, Chapman's performance was less than reassuring, continuing a trend of shaky appearances that have inflated his ERA to 4.18 and WHIP to 1.45. His high strikeout rate of 14.6 K/9 remains a silver lining, suggesting he can still dominate hitters when on point. However, his inconsistency this season, highlighted by five blown saves, makes him a risky fantasy option as a closer. Fantasy managers should keep expectations in check and monitor his outings closely, as further struggles could jeopardize his role in high-leverage situations.
