NEW YORK -- Aroldis Chapman moved on quickly after serving up a big home run in his return to action on Thursday evening, expressing confidence that he will reclaim his closer's role in time for the Yankees' postseason run.
"I understand in the next couple of games I'm going to be used in situations of less stress to help me get back into the rhythm, help me get back to being the pitcher that I know I can be," Chapman said through an interpreter. "That's what we talk about. That's what I'm expecting."
Chapman entered in the eighth inning of New York's 11-6 loss to the Red Sox with the Yankees trailing by two runs.
