New York Yankees' Aroldis Chapman put on injured list because of Achilles tendinitis

The New York Yankees have placed closer Aroldis Chapman on the 15-day injured list because of left Achilles tendinitis, while infielder DJ LeMahieu was a late scratch from Tuesday's game with left wrist discomfort.

Chapman had an MRI on the Achilles on Sunday night, and results were negative.

Chapman allowed a tiebreaking homer to AJ Pollock in the ninth inning of New York's loss to the Chicago White Sox in Game 1 of a doubleheader Sunday. The seven-time All-Star has now allowed runs in five straight appearances, the longest streak of his career.
