EDGE Analysis
Chapman turned heads with a three-homer game Saturday sfor Triple-A Nashville, but that apparently didn't move the needle enough for the organization. Though he's shown exceptional power in the minors this season, Chapman has generally scuffled since being promoted to Triple-A, slashing .194/.284/.528 across 81 plate appearances.
