Struggling New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman said Sunday that he's been dealing with an issue with his left Achilles.
Chapman allowed a tiebreaking home run to AJ Pollock in the ninth inning of New York's 3-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox in Game 1 of a doubleheader Sunday in the Bronx. The seven-time All-Star has now allowed runs in five straight appearances, the longest streak of his career.
Speaking through an interpreter, Chapman said he's been receiving treatment on the Achilles for a couple of weeks and that he'll meet with the team's athletic trainers to see if a trip to the injured list is necessary.
