New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman was a bit shaky but got the job done in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Oakland Athletics. Chapman got a quick strikeout, allowed a walk, then got another out before surrendering two straight base hits, scoring a run for Oakland. The southpaw threw the fastest pitch in the big leagues this year on his final offering of the day- a 103.4 MPH sinker for strike three. Chapman hasn't been nearly as dominant as he was at the beginning of the year but has still racked up three straight saves with three scoreless innings since his poor performance on June 10.--Tim Capurso

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman held on for his fifth save on Wednesday, keeping the Texas Rangers at bay in a 6-4 win. Chapman was a little shaky in this one, allowing a homer and a walk in his inning of work. Fortunately, he had a three-run lead to work with and was able to hold on. The lefty has looked rejuvenated this season, going 5-for-5 in save opportunities with a stellar 2.19 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts in 12 ⅓ IP. He is clearly Boston's best reliever and should get the bulk of the save opportunities, although they have shown a tendency to use him in non-save situations when multiple lefties are coming up to hit. Still, Chapman remains the favorite for saves in Beantown.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman earned his third save of the season on Sunday afternoon by closing out the Red Sox's 3-1 victory over the White Sox in Chicago. Chapman took the loss on Saturday, allowing a walk, stolen base, and walk-off single after entering the ninth inning in a tie game. He came in with a two-run lead on Sunday and had two strikeouts in the ninth, getting Luis Robert Jr. to start the inning and Michael A. Taylor to end the game. The 37-year-old veteran has 11 strikeouts in his seven innings and has converted each of his three save opportunities. The run he gave up on Saturday is the only run he has allowed all season, but he has now pitched in back-to-back games, so he may not be available as the Red Sox continue their road trip in Tampa Bay on Monday night.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman picked up the save in Saturday's 13-9 win over the Cardinals. Cooper Criswell came on for the Sox in the ninth with a 13-6 lead, but allowed three hits and three runs to score before exiting the game with two runners on. Chapman walked the first batter to load the bases, but coaxed a game-ending double play from Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera to secure the win and record the save. It was the lefty's second save of the season, now with no runs allowed in three appearances to go along with a 2:2 BB:K. The veteran racked up 14 saves last season for the Pirates, and as Boston's primary closer, he should surpass that total with ease so long as he keeps performing well.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman finally received a save opportunity as the team looked to end their four-game losing streak on Wednesday. The veteran southpaw was called upon to hold a three-run lead against the Baltimore Orioles tough lineup. It didn't go perfect for Chapman as he did walk one batter, but he also struck out one hitter as well. He eventually earned his first save of the season and fantasy managers are hopeful for many more to come. The organization said coming into the season that Chapman would be the primary closer, but they also wouldn't be afraid to use him earlier in the game if needed. That being said, Chapman might not get all the save chances in Boston, but he's still worth rostering in most leagues where saves matter.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
