Joe Girardi to go with Dellin Betances or David Robertson in 9th

Aroldis Chapman is out as the New York Yankees' closer. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before Saturday night's game with the Boston Red Sox that the hard-throwing lefty, who gave up two runs in a non-save appearance in Friday's 9-6 loss to Boston, is being taken out of that role to work through some location issues. Chapman will be used "at any point" for now, Girardi said, though he stopped short of naming his replacement.
