YANKEE CLOSER HURT DURING CELEBRATION

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman injured his pitching hand in a post-game celebration Monday at Target Field in Minneapolis following the AL Division Series sweep of the Minnesota Twins. Chapman wore a large bandage and wrap over his left hand when he met with reporters following the champagne and beer celebration of the team’s three-game sweep. The protective covering was the size of a small ham and any damage to the left-hander’s hand was not visible. “I was just celebrating and everyone was jumping around,” said Chapman. “(My hand) got hit with a bottle. But it’s fine.” Chapman’s injury came after Yankees left-hander Zack Britton left the game with an ankle injury. GM Brian Cashman said neither injury is believed to be serious. “I saw it when he walked by,” Cashman said, via NJ.com. “It’s a question on my mind. You know what he did? He gave me a fist bump with the wrap on his wrist. So I was like, ‘What’s that?’ ... He had a huge smile on his face. I fist-bumped it.”
