  • Collects second save
    Chapman gave up a run on a hit and a walk in the ninth inning Saturday to record his second save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Rays. He struck out one.

    Advice: David Bednar is dealing with some tightness in his side and was unavailable, leaving ninth-inning duties to his 36-year-old set-up man. Chapman walked the first batter he faced before surrendering an RBI double to Yandy Diaz, but the southpaw got Isaac Paredes to ground out to end the threat. Chapman has been scored upon only twice in his last 10 appearances, posting a 1.86 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB through 9.2 innings over that stretch. Bednar's injury isn't considered serious, but Chapman should handle closing duties until he's ready to return. Rotowire.com Today, 6:10 am
     
  • Aroldis Chapman picks up second save of 2024
    Aroldis Chapman picked up a save against the Rays on Saturday despite allowing a run in his inning of work.

    Advice: It’s just the second save of the season for Chapman. The 36-year-old southpaw allowed an RBI double to Yandy Diaz, but it came with the Pirates holding a two-run cushion. Chapman isn’t likely to see many save chances as long as he’s behind David Bednar. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:16 pm
     
  • Alex Lange to undergo lat surgery next week
    Alex Lange is scheduled to undergo surgery next week for a right lat avulsion.

    Advice: Lange was optioned to the minors last month after a bizarre incident on the mound during a relief appearance when he hurled a baseball into the protective netting above Detroit’s dugout in a moment of frustration. His season is most likely over. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:06 pm

  • Set for surgery
    Lange was diagnosed Tuesday with a right lat avulsion and is scheduled to undergo surgery next week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Lange suffered the injury in his appearance with Triple-A Toledo on Friday. The 28-year-old opened the 2024 campaign in Detroit's major-league bullpen before being sent down in late May, compiling a 4.34 ERA and 1.77 WHIP with 21 strikeouts over 18.2 innings in 21 appearances with the Tigers. An exact timetable for Lange's return will likely be provided following the surgery, but he's set to be placed on the minor-league injured list in the near future and could be at risk of missing the rest of the season.

  • Finding form
    Chapman hit one batter and struck out one across a scoreless seventh inning to record a hold Monday against the Reds.

    Advice: Chapman tallied his team-leading 13th hold. His numbers remain inflated after a shaky start to the season, but he's managed to turn in eight scoreless efforts in his last nine appearances. Chapman has still walked six batters across 8.2 innings in that span, but he has otherwise been effective. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:40 am
     
  • Serious injury feared
    Lange was removed from an appearance at Triple-A Toledo on Friday due to an upper-body injury, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Lange made the Tigers' Opening Day roster and owned a 4.34 ERA in 18.2 innings before being sent to Toledo. He signaled to the dugout immediately after throwing a pitch Saturday and was grabbing at his side. Lange underwent an MRI on Saturday, and while the Tigers have yet to reveal the results of the test, early indications are that Lange sustained a severe injury. Rotowire.com Saturday, 5:33 pm
