There’s no shortage of concerns for the Yankees, with every day seemingly bringing a new injury — or two.
But Aroldis Chapman alleviated some worry with an excellent performance to close out Monday’s 3-1 win over Detroit.
The closer hasn’t shown his typical triple-digit velocity in the early going of 2019, whether it’s because of starting slowly in spring training or the chilly weather in The Bronx.
He got his fastball up above 98 mph against the Tigers, mowing down the bottom of their order effortlessly to earn his first save of the year.
