“#Yankees’ Aroldis Chapman velocity still down in shaky outing<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

SEATTLE \u2014 At least Aroldis Chapman didn\u2019t blow this one.<\/p>\n

But he is still far from right.<\/p>\n

The Yankees used Chapman in the lowest of low leverage situations in Tuesday\u2019s 12-1 win over the Mariners and the left-hander was anything from dominant in yet another alarming performance.<\/p>\n

His velocity was down \u2014 dipping to 94 mph on more than one occasion and loaded the bases on a single and two walks before finally finishing the game<\/a> without giving up a run.<\/p>\n

Aaron Boone said Chapman looked \u201cbetter\u201d than in his previous recent outings and blamed his inefficiency on the fact he might not have been \u201creaching back for all his velocity\u201d due to the situation and was instead trying to regain his delivery.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully this was a step forward for him,\u2019\u2019 Boone said.<\/p>\n

Asked if Chapman would be used as his closer, Boone emphasized the desire to get Chapman in more games, regardless of they score.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be closing or it could be in a different situation,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cWe want to get him locked back in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapman had given up leads in three consecutive app<\/a>earances \u2014 and had an ERA of 18.90 in his 10 previous outings before Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Boone said he still believes they can get an effective Chapman back if they get his mechanics straightened out.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s as simple as getting him unlocked from a delivery standpoint,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cOnce we get that going, we\u2019re not that far removed from the best Aroldis Chapman we\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapman shot back at critics on Instagram on Monday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor all those people that criticize my bad moments, I will tell them that I do not know how my story ends, but in its pages you will never read, \u2018I gave up,\u2019\u201d Chapman wrote in both English and Spanish. \u201cSo I will move on. I still have many wars to win and many mouths to shut up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zack Britton (hamstring) threw another bullpen session that went well, according to Boone, but their bullpen took another hit when Darren O\u2019Day was put on the IL with a left hamstring strain.<\/p>\n

The right-hander already has been sidelined this season with a strained rotator cuff. Nick Nelson was recalled from Trip<\/a>le-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre to take his spot on the roster.<\/p>\n
