After a couple rough appearances for Chapman, a smooth outing was important, and Chapman disappointed. Dellin Betances got a save last night, so the pressure was on a bit, and Chapman now has a 10.39 ERA in August (4 1/3 innings). Chapman is still a top-10 RP, but his woes in August need to be monitored.

Fantasy Impact

Chapman has made three appearances this month, allowing a run in his last two, and has not looked good. He has allowed six base runners in 3 1/3 innings (walking four batters) and Devers' home run was the first by a left-handed batter off of Chapman since 2011. Chapman is still a top-10 RP, but his recent issues are troublesome.

Chapman had not walked a batter in six consecutive outings, allowing just three baserunners, but nearly blew the game on Friday. He earned his 15th save in 18 attempts and has now had two bumpy outings in August, needing 21 pitches to earn a save against the Indians on August 5. The Yankees need to get Chapman more work or he will continue to struggle.

Fantasy Impact

While Chapman had issues at the beginning of the month, he now has four consecutive perfect outings, earning two wins and two saves in the process. He has also struck out six batters in his last 3 2/3 innings, finishing the month with a 2.77 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 16 strikeouts in 13 innings. Chapman is a back to being a top-flight closer and should be valued as such going forward.
