Chapman & Broxton

[bluejays]

I nabbed Broxton off of waiver wire, but how long will Chapman (dead arm) be sidelined? I think he's been out 6 days already and tomorrow is an off day. Rosters are weekly.
I don't want to play him if Chapmen is back next week, especially if its early. How long is dead arm typically?

I would have to think Cincy is just going to let him rest until the playoffs.

Throwing so many 100+ MPH fastballs will give you a dead arm once in a while, its more fatigue than anything.
