Aroldis Chapman’s season is hanging in the balance as Red Sox fans brace for a potential playoff impact — the dominant closer, sidelined by lat tightness, was held out of action yesterday despite a one-run lead. Interim manager Chad Tracy emphasized caution, noting Chapman’s recovery is improving but full readiness is key before he returns. With a 1.95 ERA and 34 saves this year, Chapman’s absence looms large, especially with October looming. While Garrett Whitlock can fill the void and other arms may return soon, the team’s late-game strategy hinges on Chapman’s health — his return could be pivotal for a deep postseason run.
