Aroldis Chapman scored no points in one inning on a rehabilitation mission at the Double A Somerset when he returned to the Yankees from Achilles tendonitis on Friday night. I threw it. He hits and hits one batter. According to the MyCentralJersey.com report, Chapman hit 99 with a radar gun.
Chapman reportedly did not talk to the media after the match, but Somerset manager Dan Fiorito was encouraged to go out.
"He looked great, he said it was great. It was great to see him get healthy again and compete again," Fiorito told the website. "He did a great job. I could see his fastball life and how he was riding the batter. He looked like Aroldis Chapman."
Chapman is one step closer to rejoining the bullpen at the end of the game, regardless of how he and the dominant fill-closer Clay Holmes are used.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said, "Healthy Chappy and another influential relief in the bullpen," before the 3-1 defeat of the Yankees to the Astros at the stadium. I'm excited to get one. " "We're back there. It just makes us better."
Chapman Struggled before he landed on the injured list, he recently said he would accept "any role". Holmes has converted 12 out of 13 save chances and has not allowed 30 runs out of 32 appearances.
"Clay has become an absolute beast," Boone said. "Hopefully Chappy gives us another guy who is healthy and really helps to shorten the game."
Boone says he doesn't have to name the closer He said he felt. The last Chapman to pitch when the ERA swelled to 3.86 on May 22nd will be the fourth left-handed bullpen featuring Wandy Peralta, Lucas Slitge and Manny Banueros.
"It will be the place where they match best," Boone said. "Clay has certainly played that close role, but Aroldis's appearance doesn't mean he won't shoot [Homes] in the right eight situations."
The Yankees on Friday We distributed 18,000 "Nasty Nestor" T-shirts to fans, which were worn by team members, including Matt Carpenter and Nester Cortez himself, before the match.
"When you have your shirt in a major league stadium, it really shows that you made it," Cortez told the post. "I knew I was coming here, but it's a good idea for many to leave it on the stand."
Aaron Hicks made a dive catch with José Altuve's liner in the fourth inning. I did. This is the latest in Hicks' good play with the left fielder, and Boone states that he is still acclimatized after playing mainly in the center field. The last few seasons.
