Fantasy Forward: Who should you add with Aroldis Chapman on DL?

Fantasy MLB, Fantasy

With Aroldis Chapman to be shut down for two weeks, and likely out for another two weeks after that as he rehabs his shoulder injury, fantasy owners are certainly smart to reach out for Dellin Betances (72.5 percent ownership).

After all, the 0.77 ERA and 1.20 WHIP he has posted in 13 appearances is actually far better than Chapman's 3.55 ERA and 1.42 WHIP. The only real difference is the saves, which in most formats is a huge percentage of a reliever's value.

That said, Brandon Kintzler (58.3 percent) and Matt Bush (36.9 percent) are both far more available and, at least for now, better bets to produce saves in the second half of the season.
