Yankees activate closer Aroldis Chapman off the DL

The Yankees are back to full strength now.

Aroldis Chapman will be activated off the disabled list before Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, the Yankees announced.

The left-handed closer had been in the DL since Aug.22 with left knee tendinitis.

Chapman is the second Yankee to come off the DL in a week. Aaron Judge was activated Friday night after missing 45 games with a fractured right wrist. He was cleared to hit in a game and returned to the starting lineup Tuesday night.

Chapman has 31 saves and a 2.11 ERA in 50 appearances this season.
