The New York Yankees placed left-hander Aroldis Chapman on the injured list due to an infection in his leg that stemmed from a tattoo, the team announced Saturday.
The tattoo was a portrait of Chapman's sister, according to YES Network's Michael Kay.
Chapman hasn't pitched since Aug. 19, in part due to his infection, manager Aaron Boone said, according to YES Network's Jack Curry. The skipper doesn't believe it was risky for Chapman to get a tattoo at this point in the season and expects his former closer to pitch again this year.
