CLEVELAND (AP) — The New York Yankees have reinstated closer Aroldis Chapman from the injured list after the left-hander missed more than a month with tendinitis in his left Achilles tendon. Chapman hasn’t pitched in the majors since May 22. He made two minor league rehab appearances at Double-A Somerset and one with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre. The 34-year-old Chapman was 0-2 with a 3.86 ERA and nine saves in 17 games before he was placed on the IL on May 24. The AL East leading Yankees also placed right-hander Miguel Castro on the paternity list before opening a three-game series with Cleveland.
