Aroldis Chapman to make rehab appearance Sunday, then return as closer

Aroldis Chapman will appear for the Yankees' Double-A affiliate on Sunday and then could be activated. He will return to the ninth-inning role, according to Aaron Boone. (Bryan Hoch on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Clay Holmes has performed extremely well in Chapman's absence, so it's a bit surprising to see Boone be so unequivocal on Chapman's role. Nevertheless, Chapman has been the Yankees' closer for years and Boone has stuck with him despite bouts of ineffectiveness, so this isn't exactly the most surprising news. Managers should expect to be able to activate Chapman next week.
