New York Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman is off the team’s playoff roster for the American League Division Series, the team announced today, and it seems highly unlikely Chapman will be on the playoff roster for any subsequent series.
Chapman, who has had a rough season, putting up a 4.46 ERA in 36.1 IP and missing time on the injured list due to an infected tattoo, was not a given to be on the ALDS roster for the Yankees, who earned a bye in the first round by virtue of having one of the two best records in the American League.
