Aroldis Chapman Needs Rest

Dusty Baker removed Aroldis Chapman in the 10th inning on Wednesday.  His closer walked the bases loaded.

In his last appearance Chapman blew his fifth save when young Matt Dominguez of Houston hit a three-run home run.

During the marathon 14 inning win over Pittsburgh.  Baker brought Sam LeCure into the game to get the final out of the inning.

"We're concerned," Baker said.  "His velocity is down. He doesn't have any pain. He might be a little tired.  We might have to rest him for awhile.  He was analyzed by doctors.  He may have a little shoulder fatigue."
