Chapman has made not permitted a run over five Grapefruit League appearances, but he's allowed five hits and two walks with just one strikeout over four innings this spring.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman has made 49 relief appearances with the Astros over the last three seasons, and while he does possess strikeout potential (8.04 K/9), he issues too many free passes (5.17 BB/9) to be counted on for a regular role out of the bullpen. As long as Tony Sipp is healthy and performing well, the 28-year-old southpaw will likely serve as pitching depth in the minors.
