Melts down against Twins Chapman (4-1) was tagged with the loss and a blown save after allowing four runs on four hits without recording an out Thursday against the Twins.

Impact Chapman was unable to retire anyone Thursday, as he allowed Josh Donaldson and Nelson Cruz to homer, and he also gave up singles to Jorge Polanco and Willians Astudillo. The star reliever ended a streak of five straight games without allowing a run, and he should bounce back sooner than later with his role as the team's closer well secured.

Hurls scoreless frame in return Chapman (illness) tossed a scoreless inning against Detroit on Friday, allowing a walk and notching one strikeout.

Impact Chapman missed two days while suffering from a non-COVID-19 illness, but he was able to get back on the mound Friday. The fireballer entered a tie game in the bottom of the ninth inning and immediately issued a walk, though the Tigers were unable to get a run across the plate. New York then took a lead in the 10th frame, but manager Aaron Boone opted against putting Chapman on the mound for a second inning, and Detroit ultimately pulled the game out with a pair of runs against Justin Wilson. Chapman should be good to go moving forward as he looks to build upon a season in which he has secured 11 saves while registering a 0.45 ERA and 38:9 K:BB across 20 innings.

Picks up second straight save Chapman pitched a clean ninth while striking out a batter en route to earning his ninth save of the season in a 1-0 win over the Rays on Wednesday.

Impact Chapman was reported to have been pitching through a fingernail issue after he picked up a save in Tuesday's win over the Rays and did not appear to be bothered by it at all after manager Aaron Boone confirmed he was "fine." The hard-throwing lefty has looked as dominant as ever in his age 33 season, as he's this in Major League Baseball with nine saves and has yet to allow a run while sporting a 31:5 K:BB over 15 innings.

Impact The 33-year-old notched his eighth save of the season despite the fingernail issue cropping up, and he has yet to blow a save opportunity this season. Chapman's availability going forward shouldn't be in doubt, but it's worth keeping an eye on his status the next couple days. He has yet to allow a run with a 30:5 K:BB through 14 innings.
