Aroldis Chapman Could Rejoin Team Next Week
Sep. 12, 2018
.New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman (knee) threw a side session on Wednesday and will go back to New York to get treatment, according to manager Aaron Boone.

Aroldis Chapman Looks Good
Sep. 11, 2018
.New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman (quadriceps) has been running on a treadmill and "looks good" as he tries to return to action, according to manager Aaron Boone. The hard-throwing left-hander has thrown from up to 90 feet, and Boone said Chapman is hopeful he can make a few appearances before the playoffs. While it's great that Chapman is progressing, a few outings at the end of the season won't really hope his fantasy owners at all. Relievers David Robertson and Dellin Betances have been rotating in the ninth inning with Chapman sidelined.

Aroldis Chapman Playing Catch
Sep. 5, 2018
New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman (knee) has been playing catch on flat ground and walking on a treadmill. There remains no timetable for Chapman's return, and there remains a chance that he won't return this season. His fantasy owners need to prepare for that possibility. In the meantime, David Robertson is the best option for saves, but Dellin Betances and Zach Britton are also in the mix.
Yankees Expect Aroldis Chapman Back This Season
Sep. 2, 2018
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said no surgery issues have been raised with closer Aroldis Chapman (knee), and the expectation is that he will return this year. The Yankees can't be sure, though, and there remains no timetable for his return. It'd be a huge blow for the Yankees if they won't have Chapman down the stretch and into the playoffs. Fantasy owners must sit tight and hope he can make it back. In the meantime, the Yankees will likely continue to mix and match in the ninth inning, but reliever David Robertson looks like the best bet in fantasy.

Aroldis Chapman Receives Another Injection
Aug. 28, 2018
New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman (knee) received a second platelet-rich plasma injection in his knee, but manager Aaron Boone said it was part of the original plan. There remains no timetable for the lefty flamethrower's return, and his fantasy owners must be patient. In his absence since last week, the Yankees have used a committee to close out games with relievers Zach Britton, David Robertson and Dellin Betances.

Aug. 24, 2018
New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman (knee) has been shut down and will be re-evaluated in two weeks after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in his ailing left knee. Chapman has battled tendinitis throughout the season and it became too much for him, forcing Chapman to the disabled list this week.

Aroldis Chapman Placed On DL
Aug. 22, 2018
After he exited Tuesday night's game following just six pitches, New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday afternoon prior to the club's game against the Marlins. The official diagnosis is left knee tendinitis, an issue that has plagued him all season, although he's been able to pitch through it. The 30-year-old explained after the game that he's in constant pain, but the pain was stronger when he entered the game Tuesday. In his absence, the Yankees have at least three options for an interim closer, but Zach Britton appears to be the likeliest of those options.

Aaron Boone Thinks Aroldis Chapman Is Fine
Aug. 9, 2018
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone thinks closer Aroldis Chapman is physically fine after another subpar outing on Thursday. Chapman walked two and struck out two in a non-save situation against the Rangers on Thursday, and his velocity was a bit down as well. This comes after he gave up two earned runs and walked three in a blown save against the Red Sox last Sunday. The Yankees aren't anywhere close to making a change in the ninth, but Chapman should be monitored closely moving forward.
Aroldis Chapman Blows Ninth on Sunday
Aug. 5, 2018
Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman blew a three-run lead against the Red Sox on Sunday. Chapman left the bases loaded for J.D. Martinez who promptly singled up the middle of the field to drive in two runs, then gave up a bouncer to Xander Bogaerts that was mishandled by third baseman Miguel Andujar. The Yankees high-priced bullpen managed to hold the Red Sox to no runs for three and a third innings only for Chapman to come in and leave the game tied up. Chapman's job isn't in much jeopardy given his track record, but this is his second multi-run game in his last five outings. The Red Sox are one of the best hitting teams in the league, so it's understandable to see a pitcher of any caliber struggle. Expect Chapman to right the ship in his next outing.
Aroldis Chapman Strikes Out Side On Sunday
Jul. 30, 2018
New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman flashed his overpowering stuff on Sunday against the Kansas City Royals. Charged with protecting a 6-3 lead, Chapman came in at the top of the ninth inning and proceeded to strike out the side to earn his 28th save of the season. Chapman's month of July was marked by a horrid outing against the New York Mets where he was battered around for three runs, but he's successfully bounced back his last two outings. Chapman has battled a wonky left knee this season, but he should be kept in lineups day in and day out as one of the few elite closers in the game.

After the New York Yankees scored four runs in the fifth inning of Thursday's game to go from down two runs to up two runs, the bullpen would take over in the seventh with a one-run lead.
