Reds closer Aroldis Chapman was not available out of the bullpen Monday against the Cardinals, as MLB.com reports he had a shoulder issue.
"He's just a little achy and it just doesn't make sense at all for us to keep running him out there," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "He was a little achy [Sunday]. I didn’t want to say anything but he was. By the time we knew there might be an issue, the damage was done yesterday. Our trainers say it's a day-to-day thing and that he could be ready to go soon. I'm not crossing him off our list for [Tuesday] by any means."
Chapman threw 28 pitches while walking four batters in his last appearance Sunday. Whether he is available Tuesday is likely to be determined at game-time.
