Chapman out, has tattoo issue

New York Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman will go on the injured list after getting an infection in his leg from a recent tattoo.

Manager Aaron Boone said before Saturday’s game against the Oakland Athletics that Chapman felt irritation in the leg Thursday after getting the tattoo earlier in the week. The seven-time All-Star stayed back at the team hotel Friday and Saturday receiving antibiotics and getting treatment.

“It’s still significant enough,” Boone said. “He got a pretty bad infection.”
