Chafin was activated from the paternity leave list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran left-hander is back in the bullpen after tending to more important matters. Chafin has collected a 3.06 ERA and 45:15 K:BB over 32.1 innings out of the Diamondbacks' bullpen this season.

Arizona placed Chafin on the paternity list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Chafin will miss at least a portion of the Diamondbacks' three-game series in Atlanta as he welcomes a new addition to his growing family. Luis Frias has been called up from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Chafin (2-2) was charged with a blown save and the loss Wednesday. The left-hander allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Chafin got the first two outs and nearly had the third, but catcher Carson Kelly couldn't hang on to Francisco Alvarez's foul tip. Given a second life, Alvarez drilled a game-tying home run to right-center field, and Chafin blew his third save in 11 chances. Two batters later, the Diamondbacks were down a run. Chafin had been the primary closer to the start the season, but he hadn't been used in a close-out situation since May 29, as Scott McGough emerged in that role. This was the third time in the last week the bullpen failed the Diamondbacks late in a game.

Chafin (ankle) struck out two over a scoreless and hitless inning in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Chafin rolled an ankle Tuesday and was unavailable to pitch the last two days. He pitched the eighth inning Thursday while Scott McGough recorded the save, his third in as many appearances. Chafin's last save came May 29, though he remains a trusted late-inning arm.

Chafin rolled his ankle during batting practice prior to Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Michael McDermott of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chafin sustained the injury while shagging flyballs. He was scheduled to throw a bullpen session before the game, and it's unclear if he was available Tuesday. Chafin didn't pitch in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to Milwaukee.

Chafin allowed one hit and one walk over a third of an inning to earn a hold in Sunday's 7-5 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Chafin entered with a save opportunity to begin the ninth inning but ceded a leadoff triple and one-out walk before giving way to Scott McGough. The former remains a reliable bullpen arm and will continue to get save chances along with McGough and Miguel Castro. Since a two-game hiccup in early May, Chafin has a 1.56 ERA with 12 strikeouts, four walks and seven holds over nine innings (12 appearances).

Chafin earned a save over the Rockies on Monday, retiring the only batter he faced via strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Drew Jameson pitched 3.2 scoreless innings in relief and nearly closed the game, but Chafin was summoned to record the final out after Randal Grichuk stroked a two-out single in the ninth. Chafin got Elehuris Montero to go down swinging on a slider to finish off the victory and earn his eighth save. The lefty reliever has nabbed four saves in May and appears to be sharing the closer role with Miguel Castro, who also has four saves this month.

Chafin did not pitch in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks had a save situation -- entering the ninth inning up 5-3 -- but none of Chafin, Miguel Castro or Kyle Nelson were available after throwing three of the last four days. Jose Ruiz tried to close the door but gave up a two-run home run to Trea Turner before taking the loss in the 10th.

Chafin allowed one hit over two-thirds of an inning to record a hold in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

After Arizona took the lead in the top of the eighth inning, manager Torey Lovullo went with the lefty Chapin to face the top of Philadelphia's order, which included a pair of lefty hitters. Chafin and Scott McGough got the Diamondbacks through unscathed, setting up a save for Miguel Castro, who has recently become a regular in the closer mix. Matchups for Arizona appear to dictate late-game usage patterns, which includes decisions on which pitcher will throw the eighth inning, so fantasy managers can expect Chafin and Castro to share the save chances for now.

Chafin issued one walk in a scoreless inning Monday. He struck out three batters and earned a save against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Chafin worked around a two-out walk to secure the 6-3 victory for Arizona. It was his first save since May 15, while Miguel Castro recorded two outs in the seventh inning. Chafin has tossed five straight shutout frames, lowering his ERA to 3.38 with a 29:6 K:BB.
