Available Tuesday
Manager Alex Cora said Chapman (back) is available to pitch Tuesday against the Twins, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
The veteran left-hander was unavailable for Monday after exiting Sunday's game due to back tightness, but he's been cleared to take the mound after playing catch prior to Tuesday's contest. Chapman has surrendered just one earned run in his past 22 appearances, and he's converted 10 of 11 save chances with a 33:5 K:BB during that stretch.

Unavailable to pitch Monday
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Chapman (back) is unavailable to pitch Monday in Minnesota, but he expects the reliever to be ready by Tuesday or Wednesday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
Chapman had to be pulled from an appearance Sunday against the Dodgers due to back tightness, but the Red Sox expect his absence to be brief. If a save opportunity arises for Boston on Monday, Cora could turn to Jordan Hicks, Garrett Whitlock, Justin Wilson or Greg Weissert.

Dealing with tight back
Chapman (back) was removed in the eighth inning of Sunday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers due to back tightness, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis
Chapman took the hill to begin the eighth inning and issued a pair of walks and induced a Shohei Ohtani flyout before being removed from the contest. The 37-year-old was apparently dealing with a tight back, which likely explains why his average four-seam fastball velocity was about four ticks behind his season-long average during the outing. The back issue wasn't something that manager Alex Cora wasn't overly worried about, noting that he expects the closer to avoid a trip to the injured list. That being said, the Red Sox may look to stay away from using Chapman for the next day or two to give him extra time to heal up from the back issue.

Lifted with apparent injury
Chapman was removed in the eighth inning during his relief appearance in Sunday's game against the Dodgers due to an apparent injury, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis
After entering the game in the top of the eighth, Chapman walked the first two batters he faced, then induced a Shohei Ohtani flyball for the first out of the inning. The Red Sox sent a trainer out to visit with Chapman following that at-bat, and manager Alex Cora then made the decision to pull the right-hander from the game. Though the nature of Chapman's injury likely won't be clarified until after the contest, he sported a four-seam fastball that averaged just 94.6 miles per hour on the afternoon, about four ticks below his season average.

Notches save No. 18
Chapman earned a save against the Dodgers on Saturday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter over one scoreless and hitless inning.
Analysis
Chapman took the mound with a two-run lead in the top of the ninth frame. He retired the first two batters he faced before walking Esteury Ruiz. That brought Mookie Betts up to the plate as a pinch hitter representing the tying run, and Chapman was able to whiz a 97 mph heater past the former MVP for strike three on a 3-2 count to end the game. Chapman's save was his 18th of the campaign, his most since he logged 30 with the Yankees in 2021. The seemingly ageless closer has also registered an impressive 1.31 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 61:11 K:BB through 41.1 innings spanning 44 appearances this season.

Rare blown save vs. Phillies
Chapman was charged with a blown save in Wednesday's 9-8 extra-innings win over Philadelphia, allowing one run on one hit and no walks in 1.1 innings. He struck out one.
Analysis
Chapman served up a home run for the first time since his May 7 outing versus Texas, and it was also his first blown save since May 27 in Milwaukee. The All-Star left-hander should have plenty of leeway as it pertains to receiving future save chances, as Wednesday marked the first time that he conceded an earned run since May 14. On the campaign as a whole, Chapman sports a 1.34 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 60:10 K:BB while converting 17 of his 19 save opportunities across 40.1 innings.
