Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Chapman finished with 100-plus strikeouts for the fifth time in his career, but for the first time since 2015. The veteran showcased increased velocity early in the season, hitting 103.8 mph on the radar gun with his devastating sinker (101.1 mph average) that yielded a 43.3% whiff rate, the league's highest mark for that pitch type. Walks were still an issue, but Chapman still had the third-highest K-BB percentage among qualified relievers at 26.9%. Ultimately, the southpaw proved he was effective enough during his age-35 season to maintain a high-leverage role for both Kansas City and Texas. Chapman only had six saves last year, and it seems unlikely that he will take away closing duties from David Bednar after signing a one-year deal with the Pirates in January. The Cuban Missile can still be an asset in leagues scoring holds, NL-only formats and even deep mixed leagues for his ratios and strikeouts. Read Past Outlooks
Suspended two games
Chapman was given a two-game suspension and fine Thursday for his actions versus the Mets on Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Chapman got into an altercation with an umpire and was ejected during the bottom of the eighth inning in Monday's loss against the Mets. The lefty was credited for the loss after surrendering three runs and recording just one out during the appearance. He is permitted to appeal the suspension.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Receiving interest from Mets
The Mets have displayed interest in Chapman, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
ANALYSIS
However, Martino adds that Chapman might ultimately be able to find a better fit elsewhere. It's possible that could indicate the 35-year-old is holding out for a closer job, something the Mets would not be able to offer. Chapman had an up-and-down finish in 2023 and walked 36 over 58.1 innings, but he also recorded 103 strikeouts and still boasts elite velocity.

After still showing signs of dominance during the 2021 season, last year proved that Chapman's days of being an elite closer are probably over. The southpaw was limited to just 36.1 innings after two trips to the IL, first for an Achilles injury, then for a leg infection that developed after getting a tattoo. Chapman struggled when healthy, as his 4.46 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 26.9% strikeout rate were the worst marks of his career. Combine the latter with a bloated 17.5% walk rate that would have been the worst among relievers if he pitched enough innings to qualify, his K-BB percentage was merely in the single digits at 9.4%. The 35-year-old still throws hard, averaging 97.7 mph on his 4-seamer, but there may not be a huge market for the free-agent. Chapman was left off the Yankees playoff roster after missing a team workout and may be more of a headache at this point of his career than an asset.
