Eligibility
RHP Tyler Chatwood took the loss in relief on Wednesday when he allowed five runs--three earned--with four strikeouts over two innings in a 6-2 loss to the Mets on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Chatwood was making his Giants debut after San Francisco signed him to a minor league contract last week following his release from the Blue Jays. He entered in the 11th inning and allowed the inherited runner to score from a Michael Conforto double. He coughed up four more runs, three earned, in the 11th inning but the Giants weren't able to mount a comeback so he was hit with the loss. The veteran hurler doesn't offer much value as a reliever, especially given the type of season he's had so far. He owns a 6.00 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 36:20 K/BB ratio over 30 innings between the Jays and the Giants.
The Blue Jays placed RHP Tyler Chatwood (neck) on the 10-day IL.
Fantasy Impact
Toronto's bullpen continues to deal with injuries. Chatwood has shown flashes of dominance this season but he still has a 5.46 ERA for the year.
The Blue Jays activated RHP Tyler Chatwood (triceps) from the 10-day injured lit.
Fantasy Impact
Chatwood actually pitched against the Rays on Friday and tossed a scoreless frame to earn a hold. He'll be used out of the bullpen for now and isn't a fantasy option at this time.
Blue Jays RHP Tyler Chatwood has been told to prepare for a high-relief role this season.
Fantasy Impact
Chatwood says the current plan is for him to work as a “late-inning” reliever. “Stuff is going to play up.” He mainly pitched out of the bullpen in 2019 for the Cubs and owned a 19.3 K rate as a reliever. The 31-year-old owned a 5.30 ERA, 1.66b WHIP and a 25:9 K:BB across 18 2/3 innings in 2020. Chatwood will be used in a high-leverage role, but won’t challenge current closer Kirby Yates for save opportunities.
Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports free agent RHP Tyler Chatwood is signing with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
The deal is still pending a physical. Chatwood was mostly a disaster in his three seasons with the Cubs. In 2020 he posted a 5.30 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP across five starts. He isn't on the fantasy radar entering 2021.
