NEW YORK -- So long as struggling Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman checks out healthy Wednesday night and perhaps into the morning, he's back in his regular slot Thursday, manager Joe Girardi said.
The Yankees felt confident enough that Chapman was OK that they did not opt for an MRI, according to Girardi.
"He will continue to be my closer," Girardi said. "We won't close with him tonight because we're going to let him go through some things. We think that his leg is not going to be an issue, but we want him to go through some things and make sure that it is OK.
