2018 FANTASY BASEBALL CLOSING TIME: AROLDIS CHAPMAN PLACED ON DL WITH KNEE TENDINITIS

Having dealt with a knee trouble for the better part of the last month, the New York Yankees finally placed All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman on the 10-day DL with a bout of left knee tendinitis.  This just 24 hours after Chapman removed himself from a save chance Tuesday night and after complaining of soreness in the knee since right before the All-Star break.  Chapman clearly has not pitched like he is capable of during that stretch and so the time off will surely beneficial.  As far as who will take over the ninth inning, Dellin Betances looks to be the best bet since David Robertson is not 100 percent himself and Zach Britton has not thrown well since coming to the Yanks at the trade deadline.
