New York Post | Peter Botte: Prior to last night’s game, the Yankees put Aroldis Chapman on the IL with left Achilles tendinitis. Hopefully some time off to recover can get him back to form, as he had struggled mightily the past few weeks. Additionally, Kyle Higashioka was activated from the COVID-19 IL while Joey Gallo and Josh Donaldson remain, though Gallo tested negative and was seen practicing with the team so he could return as early as today.
Lastly, DJ LeMahieu was scratched from last night’s game with left wrist discomfort. Marwin Gonzalez replaced him in the lineup and at third base.
