If there was one area on this Yankees team where they have plenty of depth to replace a player in the case of an injury it’s in their bullpen. The Yankees have arguably the best bullpen in baseball and one of the most talented groups the game has ever seen. They’ve struggled at times over the past month but come October this pen is expected to lead the team on an extended playoff run like they did a season ago.
Without a healthy Aroldis Chapman that won’t be as easy so you hope this time off will help him recover from his knee problems and he can come back fresh for the stretch run.
