Aroldis Chapman gets fastball back after suffering scare
Coming off his first rough outing of the season, Aroldis Chapman rebounded in fine style in the Yankees 14-11, 10-inning win on Friday night — but he did provide another scare.
Pitching in a tie game in the top of the 10th, Chapman retired Adam Jones and Manny Machado before Mark Trumbo’s comebacker got him on his pitching hand. Trumbo reached on an infield single and Chapman was checked out by the training staff.
He stayed in the game and struck out Chris Davis to end the inning.
Afterward, Chapman said he was fine.
“It was in the palm,” Chapman said through an interpreter after earning his first win of the season. “Not the fingertips.”
