New York Yankees: Aroldis Chapman’s bottle-battered hand is ‘fine’

New York Yankees fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief. The team has officially avoided a Cuban Missile-less crisis.

Bombers closer Aroldis Chapman found himself on the wrong end of some bubbly while celebrating the team’s ALDS victory on Monday. However, the southpaw immediately brushed off the apparent injury to his pitching hand:

“I got hit with a bottle, but it’s fine.”He told NBC Sports’ Craig Calcaterra.

“Chapman is fine,” the second-year skipper told reporters, including the New York Post’s George A. King III.
