The New York Yankees have been without closer Aroldis Chapman since May 24 due to an Achilles issue. Stepping into his role has been 29-year-old Clay Holmes. And the team hasn't missed a beat.
Holmes has pitched spectacularly all season, but especially in the Chapman's place at the back end of the bullpen. His performance has paid off, as manager Aaron Boone has confirmed Holmes will remain the closer in the Bronx.
