NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees placed closer Aroldis Chapman on the 10-day injured list Saturday because of inflammation in his left elbow.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Chapman experienced a little inflammation last weekend in Miami but an MRI came back clean. Boone said it will be a few days of no throwing for the hard-throwing lefty.
Jonathan Loaisiga pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save to close out Saturday's 5-4 win over Seattle.
Chapman didn't get into the game Friday night when the Yankees used nine pitchers in a 3-2, 11-inning win over the Mariners.
