Earns win after blowing save Chapman (5-2) blew the save but took the win against the Royals on Wednesday, pitching one inning and allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two.

Impact The flame-throwing closer couldn't protect a one-run ninth-inning lead, as he walked in the game-tying run after loading the bases and subsequently allowed the go-ahead run to score on a single. He avoided a loss and earned his fifth win, however, as a result of the Yankees responding with two runs in the bottom of the ninth. While Chapman ultimately came out on top, the rough outing continued a recent subpar seven-game stretch during which he has taken two blown saves while posting a 11.81 ERA and 3.19 WHIP across 5.1 frames.

Earns save despite fingernail issue Chapman allowed no hits and two walks in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save against the Athletics on Sunday.

Impact Chapman revealed after Sunday's game that he recently broke the fingernail on his middle finger, and it hasn't yet fully healed, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. The issue has mostly impacted the release on his fastball, but he's been able to pitch on each of the last two days, and he's earned a pair of saves in those appearances. The southpaw has posted a 1.98 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 16 saves in 27.1 innings this season.

Lights up radar gun, nabs 15th save Chapman allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out two en route to collecting his 15th save of the season in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.

Impact With the Yankees holding a three-run lead heading into the top of the ninth, Chapman was called upon for a relatively low-stress save situation. He ended up allowing a run and put the potential game-tying runs on base with two outs, but Chapman was able to put away Matt Chapman to end the threat. The fireballing right-hander's final fastball of the day clocked in at 103.4 miles per hour, marking the fastest pitch recorded in the majors this season, according to Bryan Hoch and Martin Gallegos of MLB.com.

Collects 14th save Chapman gave up two hits and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his 14th save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Vladimir Guerrero and Teoscar Hernandez led off the ninth with back-to-back hits, but Chapman buckled down and escaped the jam with a little help from the umpires. The veteran closer sports his typically dominant numbers with a 1.78 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 45:11 K:BB through 25.1 innings on the year.

Secures 13th save Chapman had a strikeout and didn't allow a baserunner during the ninth inning to record the save in Tuesday's victory versus the Blue Jays.

Impact Chapman surrendered five runs (four earned) on five hits while recording only one out in his past two appearances, though he rebounded Tuesday with a perfect frame. The veteran southpaw has otherwise been fantastic in 2021 with a 1.85 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 44:11 K:BB while going 13-for-15 in save chances.

Suffers loss Saturday Chapman (4-2) was tagged with the loss against Philadelphia on Saturday, allowing one unearned run on one hit while retiring one batter.

Impact After suffering a blown save and his first loss by giving up four runs Thursday against the Twins, Chapman took the loss again Saturday, though the circumstances were much different this time around. He came on in the 10th inning with the inherited runner on second base and was done in by his own throwing error and an infield single that allowed the winning run to cross the plate. Chapman remains one of the elite closers in the game despite the back-to-back rough outings.
