Yankees GM Cashman return from DL uncertain

Chapman was placed on the 10-day disabled list Aug. 22 with left knee tendinitis. Since then, he has had two platelet-rich plasma injections.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said there is no guarantee closer Aroldis Chapman will pitch again in the regular season, MLB.com reported Saturday.

"I can't tell you with a level of confidence or not," Cashman said. "I know he's going through the motions now of getting the treatment necessary and until we see him out there doing what he's done in the past like he's capable of doing it, it's probably best for me to be cautious on that."

Chapman was placed on the 10-day disabled list Aug. 22 with left knee tendinitis. Since then, he has had two platelet-rich plasma injections.

Chapman has been dealing with knee pain since at least May.

"The timeline is tougher because the season is now only a month left to go," Cashman said. "We're hopeful but I can't tell you with any level of confidence one way or the other."

Zach Britton, Dellin Betances, and David Robertson have shared the closer duties in Chapman's absence.

On the season, Chapman is 3-0 with a 2.11 ERA. He has appeared in 50 games and has 31 saves.
