Aroldis Chapman gave Red Sox Nation a scare in the series finale against the Dodgers on Sunday. The lefty was very erratic when he entered the game in the eighth inning, and his velocity was down. After walking the first two batters, then inducing a flyout of Shohei Ohtani (without throwing him a heater), Alex Cora and a trainer came to the mound. After speaking for a few moments, they pulled Chapman from the game.
Reports from fans after the game indicated that Chapman was throwing up in the bullpen during his warm-ups, but then beat reports emerged that he left the game with back spasms and is being considered day-to-day.
