Chapman Exits, Hicks Saves Red Sox Series Win

News summary

Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman left Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the eighth inning with back tightness after his velocity dropped and he walked two batters. Both Chapman and manager Alex Cora stated postgame that the injury is minor, with Chapman considered day-to-day and not expected to go on the injured list. Jordan Hicks stepped in to record a five-out save, helping the Red Sox secure the series win against the reigning World Series champions. Chapman, who has 18 saves and a 1.30 ERA, remains a crucial part of Boston’s bullpen as the team contends for a playoff spot and approaches the trade deadline. The Red Sox are already without reliever Liam Hendriks, making Chapman's quick recovery especially important. Despite the incident, the team maintains confidence in their bullpen depth, with Hicks ready to fill in if needed.
