Aroldis Chapman Left off Yankees' Playoff Roster After Missing Workout, Says Boone

Aroldis Chapman wasn't included on the American League Division Series roster.

The veteranReliever didn't have an acceptable excuse for missing a workout.

The Yankees are considering team disciplinary action for Aroldis Chapman, who skipped a mandatory scheduled workout, Aaron Boone says.

He left the door open for Chapman to be activated.

Brian Cashman said that this was a new territory for him.

Brian Cashman said this is the first time since he’s been with the Yankees that a player did not show up for a mandatory postseason workout.

Congrats to Arolids Chapman for making history!

Cashman said he was shocked at first about Chapman & then not. “There's some questions about whether he's been all in or not for a little while. He’s maintained verbally, but the actions don't match those words.“

Chapman's worst year has been this one. His FIP was two runs higher than his lifetime average, and he finished with a 4.46ERA. His four-seamvelocity was his lowest on record.

The Cuban star's biggest advantage was that he had a lot of other pitchers hitting triple digits on the radar gun.

Chapman's struggles on the mound may not have a significant impact on New York in the next round.

After arriving ahead of the trade deadline, Lou Trivino and Scott Effross have provided their expected impact, as well as Clay Holmes, who is on the verge of returning.

Clay Holmes said he is scheduled to face hitters tomorrow and felt “free and easy” throwing off the mound. He expects to be on the ALDS roster but is not sure if he will be available for Game 1.

Chapman wasn't expected to be a high-leverage relief option in the ALCS. If he rejoins the team, that will probably stay the same.

Chapman is a free agent in the off-season and this could be the end of his time with the Yankees. Cashman's comments seem to indicate how it will approach Chapman's free agency.
