The New York Yankees have placed closer Aroldis Chapman on the 15-day injured list with left Achilles tendinitis, it was announced Tuesday.
Chapman had an MRI on his 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.
He is 0-2 with nine saves and 3.
