Chapman pitched the final two games in New York over the weekend, saving both games, then went for a third straight day in the 10th inning of Monday’s loss to the Rays. He didn’t pitch Tuesday (Weissert got the save in that one) but closed out Wednesday’s win, then threw 14 pitches Friday. That was likely his limit entering Saturday.

According to Newsweek's Andrew Wright, Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman is considered a trade candidate for the New York Mets, who are looking to address their own bullpen issues.

The New York Mets have a glaring hole in their bullpen, and the trade deadline will be their best opportunity to fill it. The untimely season-ending injury to A.J. Minter in April left the Mets without a reliable left-handed reliever for high-leverage spots.
