Cubs' Aroldis Chapman: Getting two days off

Chapman will not pitch Saturday or Sunday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Chapman was credited with a blown save Friday night, his fourth game in four nights -- two of those appearances came in a doubleheader Tuesday -- and he said the workload caught up with him. "I felt a bit tired [Friday] night," Chapman said. "I did not perform at 100 percent. Also, the game was long and I was throwing and preparing [in the bullpen] to come in, in case they scored a run, and that may have contributed to me feeling a little tired." Chapman added he'll be ready to go Monday after a couple of days off, and that he'll be 100 percent.
