Chapman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman crushed a Nathan Eovaldi offering over the fence in left-center field in the seventh inning. Chapman's .246/.303/.443 slash line through 17 games comes with three homers and 10 RBI, and while on the surface his numbers don't look too different from his last couple years in Oakland, there are signs of improvement. His 25.8 percent strikeout rate would be his best mark since 2019 if he can keep it up.

EDGE Analysis
Chapman hit a two-out double in his first plate appearance during the second inning but couldn't come around to score as Cavan Biggio rolled over to second to end the inning.

The third baseman came on with a runner on again in the eighth, but Lourdes Gurriel was thrown out at third after Chapman hit a single to left field. Through 13 games, Chapman has eight RBI and and three multi-hit games.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman followed George Springer's first-inning homer with a long ball of his own off Spencer Howard. His elite defense at third base will keep him in the lineup on an everyday basis, but if the first three games are any indication, the strikeouts aren't going anywhere.

EDGE Analysis
Chapman left Tuesday's game against the Yankees with a left forearm laceration after getting spiked on a play at third base. The cut didn't require stitches, so it's no surprise to see him back in action three days later.

The Blue Jays announced that Chapman was removed from Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees due to a left forearm laceration, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman won't require stitches to seal the wound, so he could have a shot at playing in the Blue Jays' next game Wednesday against the Phillies if the laceration doesn't present too much discomfort for him at the plate or in the field. The 28-year-old, who signed a two-year, $25 million deal with the Blue Jays earlier Tuesday to avoid arbitration, suffered the cut when he took a spike to the forearm during a play at third base.
