The New York Yankees will be without their closer for at least a few weeks.
The Yankees placed Aroldis Chapman on the 10-day disabled list on Sunday with shoulder inflammation, with general manager Brian Cashman expecting the flamethrower to be out around a month.
Brian Cashman said that the plan is to have Aroldis Chapman rest for a minimum of two weeks. Yanks probably looking at a month without him.

This might explain Chapman’s recent struggles. Last Sunday, he gave up three runs and walked two in a blown save against the Chicago Cubs, and he followed that up by allowing three hits and a run in two-thirds of an inning Friday against Houston.
