Angels' Andrew Chafin: Placed on injured list
The Los Angeles Angels placed Andrew Chafin on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Thursday, with left triceps inflammation.Chafin has been effective out of the bullpen since joining the Angels at the trade deadline, posting a 1.98 ERA and 1.17 WHIP alongside an 18:7 K:BB over 13.2 innings. However, he'll now be unavailable for the next two weeks after coming away from his latest appearance with a triceps issue, leaving just enough time for him to potentially come back for the final weekend of the regular season. Connor Brogdon was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill the opening in the Halos' bullpen.

Angels' Andrew Chafin: Lands with Angels
The Los Angeles Angels acquired Andrew Chafin and right-hander Luis Garcia from the Nationals on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander Jake Eder and first baseman Sam Brown, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.Chafin holds a 2.70 ERA over 20 innings with the Nationals this season, but a 1.60 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB suggest he's been the beneficiary of some good fortune in terms of run prevention. The 35-year-old will give the Angels another lefty in the bullpen.

Nationals' Andrew Chafin: Nabs first win of season
Andrew Chafin (1-0) picked up the win Monday over the Reds, working a perfect sixth inning. He didn't strike out a batter.The veteran lefty was one of six Washington Nationals relievers to take the mound after starter Jake Irvin couldn't escape the fourth inning, and Chafin was credited with the win even though Washington never trailed in the game. He's been tagged with just one run in seven appearances since returning from a hamstring strain in early July, posting a 1.50 ERA, 0.50 WHIP and 2:0 K:BB over 6.0 innings during that stretch. With the Nats expected to be motivated sellers at the trade deadline, Chafin could find himself landing with a contender before the end of the month.

Nationals' Andrew Chafin: Returning to majors
The Washington Nationals are in agreement with Andrew Chafin on a major-league contract Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.Chafin had been looking for a new home since the start of the season after being assigned to Triple-A Toledo by Detroit. The lefty had a poor spring training in which he allowed eight earned runs across six innings, which hindered his chances of making the roster. He will get an opportunity with the bullpen in Washington in hopes of building off of his 2024 season's 3.51 ERA. In a corresponding move, Colin Poche was designated for assignment.

Tigers' Andrew Chafin: Bound for Triple-A
Andrew Chafin will report to Trriple-A Toledo after the Detroit Tigers informed him Wednesday that he won't be included on the Opening Day roster and will be reassigned to the minors, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.Even though the Tigers unexpectedly had an extra spot in the bullpen available with Jason Foley surprisingly getting optioned to Triple-A coming off a 28-save season with Detroit, Chafin wasn't able to make the cut. While the 34-year-old lefty boasts a fairly long track record of success in the majors, a poor spring in which he yielded eight earned runs on seven hits and six walks over six Grapefruit League innings kept him from winning an Opening Day spot. Brenan Hanifee instead appears to have clinched the final opening in the Detroit bullpen.

Tigers' Andrew Chafin: Jockeying for MLB roster spot
Andrew Chafin is still in the mix for Detroit's final bullpen spot to begin the regular season, along with Brant Hurter and Brenan Hanifee, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.Chafin was invited to camp on a minor-league deal and is not on the 40-man roster, so the Detroit Tigers would have to clear room for him if they want to keep him around, but the veteran southpaw could give the team a boost against left-handed hitters. Hurter is also a lefty while Hanifee, a righty, posted a sub-2.00 ERA for Detroit last season, so the team has a tough decision to make. Ultimately, all three players could see time in the MLB bullpen at various points during the 2025 season, but none of them figure to have huge fantasy impacts.
