Chapman was not available for the last two contests, which were save opportunities. Garrett Whitlock (Thursday) and Erik Miller (Friday) closed out the two wins. The Red Sox, who have a six-game lead over the nearest playoff hopefuls with eight games left, have some wiggle room and will not rush Chapman back.

Chapman downplayed his lat issue Friday, saying he's "not worried at all" about the injury and plans to pitch again during Boston's final regular-season homestand next week, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.

Chapman said he first felt the injury Tuesday, and he's improved throughout the week. With Boston closing in on a playoff berth, the team will likely be conservative with its star closer. Garrett Whitlock handled the ninth inning of Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rangers, locking down his fourth save of the season. it sounds like Chapman will be unavailable for this weekend's set with the Rays.

Interim manager Chad Tracy said after Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rangers that Chapman was unavailable due to a lat issue, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Chapman has been dealing with the issue for a couple days, and Tracy said the Red Sox will be "conservative" with the 38-year-old. With the left-hander unavailable Thursday, Garrett Whitlock came on for the save, his fourth of the season. Chapman hasn't pitched since Sunday, when he walked two and struck out three in an inning of work against the Royals to secure his 34th save of 2026. Boston is well positioned to secure a playoff berth soon and is likely to be extra cautious with its closer during the final days of the regular season.

Chapman worked around two walks to earn the save Sunday against the Royals, striking out three in a hitless and scoreless ninth inning.

Chapman let the possible tying run get to the plate following a pair of free passes, but he punched out three in a row to hang on for the save. The star southpaw continues to roll, having not blown a save since June 28 against the Yankees. He has a 1.95 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 68:23 K:BB over 50.2 innings, collecting 34 saves in 36 opportunities.

Chapman earned the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Orioles, allowing one hit and no walks with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.

Chapman was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and quieted the top of the Orioles' order to close the door. The veteran closer owns a 1.80 ERA in 20 second-half appearances and has now converted 17 straight save chances since his last blown save June 28. On the year, he's 33-for-35 in save opportunities with a 2.03 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB across 48.2 innings.
