Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) received a cortisone injection in his injured right hand Tuesday, per A's beat writer Juan McWilliams. Chapman is currently rehabbing after being placed on the 10-day disabled list last Thursday with a hand injury that he has been battling with since spring training. If the injection is well-received, Chapman could swing a bat on Thursday.

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) was sent to the 10-day disabled list Friday to rest his right hand, per MLB.com's Jane Lee. An MRI revealed no structural damage in Chapman's hand but the team will be cautious with their top defender, as Chapman has been dealing with the issue since spring training. Franklin Barreto will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. The injury will come as a blow to the A's team and fantasy owners since Chapman was starting to[...]

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman was taken out of Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Astros in the seventh inning due to a right hand contusion, per MLB.com's Jane Lee. Chapman uncharacteristically made two errors and went 0-for-2 before exiting the game. He dealt with the same issue in spring training and said that he has been dealing with it all season after Thursday's game. The 25-year-old had started to get things going at the plate in June, hitting .368 with four doubles. A prolonged i[...]

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman was the lone offensive bright spot for the A's Saturday, picking up three of the team's four hits in a 2-0 loss to the Royals. Chapman went 3-for-3 with three singles and a walk. The 25-year-old owns a disappointing .244/.337/.423 slash line on the season but has been doing better in June, batting .321 with five walks in 28 at-bats. The power is still missing, but if Chapman can get things going at the plate, extra-base hits are likely to follow.

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Rays. The blast was his ninth of the season and was his first HR in 13 games. During that stretch, he hit just .174 with a .240 on-base percentage and a mere .304 slugging percentage. The 25-year-old showed power potential last season, hitting 14 HRs in 84 games, so hopefully this recent shot can get him going. Chapman will get a chance to hit more HRs next series against the Royals, who[...]

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 3-for-4 with a double and a walk in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays. The double was Chapman's eighth of the season. Chapman got off to a blistering start to the season but cooled off significantly starting around mid-April. However, he seems to be finding his groove again, hitting .407 with five extra-base hits in his last seven games. Chapman has shown power potential and plate discipline (11.6% walk percentage) this season. If he can get things[...]

Welcome to Week 8 of the Cut List. I'm continuing the standard league viable cut trend that I've been rolling with for a few weeks. I think my pitching cut suggestions have fared rather well over the past few weeks (Danny Duffy, Jeff Samardzija, Sonny Gray, Jacob Faria), but the hitters I've highlighted lately are sort of turning their seasons around (Josh Bell, Matt Chapman, Evan Gattis). This is the risk I took when I chose to cover standard league viable players. Keep this in mind when you[...]

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman gets a rest day Friday night, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Chapman has had an up and down season and recently seems to be on the upward trend. In the last seven days, he is hitting .360 with two homers and six RBI. Chapman is a valuable inexpensive asset to a dynasty league.

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman joined the HR derby after the game was out of hand in the 10-5 win over the Blue Jays. His eighth homer was a two-run shot off of John Axford in the sixth inning. Chapman started the year off great but has had a long cold spell which diminished his stats and caused some owners to consider dropping him. The last seven days, however, has resulted in seven runs, two homers and six RBI for Chapman. His 42.4% hard hit rate will result in his fair share of [...]

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman has a multi-hit game in a 5-3 win over the Red Sox Tuesday. This was his second consecutive multi-hit game and was much needed since he is batting .178 over the last two weeks after starting the year off strong. Chapman finished the night 2-for-3 with a run, two RBI and a double. He is an offensive force so don't give up on the Athletics' young third baseman.
