Chapman was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, the Athletics will call up one of their top prospects to provide a jolt to their offense. Chapman has a .333 ISO with the Sounds this season, although he also struck out 31 percent of the time. With Trevor Plouffe being designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for him, it seems like Chapman will get a full audition to be Oakland's primary third baseman.
