Chapman exited Tuesday's game against the Yankees with an apparent left hand injury, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury occurred on an attempted steal of third base. Chapman, who agreed to a two-year, $25 million contract with the Blue Jays earlier Tuesday to avoid arbitration, appeared to be bleeding as he walked off the field, indicating that he'd seemingly been spiked in the hand during the play. He was smiling and laughing with the training staff as he exited, so there's hope that he isn't dealing with any long-term injury.

Chapman agreed Tuesday with the Blue Jays on a two-year, $25 million contract extension, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal buys out Chapman's final two years of arbitration and keeps him on track to reach free agency following the 2023 campaign. The Blue Jays will likely wait and see how Chapman fares during his first season in Toronto before potentially revisiting signing him to a longer-term extension next spring.

Chapman went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

He crushed a Bryse Wilson offering deep to left field in the third inning for his first homer of the spring. Chapman is coming off a rough final stretch at the plate with Oakland, posting sky-high strikeout rates and feeble batting averages over the last two seasons in the aftermath of a hip injury, but his elite defense at third base will still an asset for the Blue Jays even if he never regains the form that saw him slash .263/.348/.507 over 301 games in 2018-19 for the A's.

The Blue Jays acquired Chapman from the Athletics on Wednesday in exchange for right-handed starter Gunnar Hoglund (elbow), shortstop Kevin Smith, left-handed starter Zach Logue and lefty reliever Kirby Snead, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rebuilding Athletics shipped out both of their star corner infielders just two days apart, as first baseman Matt Olson was moved to Atlanta earlier this week before Chapman was sent to Toronto. With the Blue Jays, Chapman will provide elite defense at the hot corner, and he'll also be tasked with replacing some of the production at the plate that the team lost with Marcus Semien's departure for the Rangers in free agency. Since he broke out with career-high marks in home runs (36), RBI (91) and runs (102) in 2019, Chapman's offensive outputs have been trending down while his strikeout rate has spiked considerably, but the move to a friendlier home park and a star-studded Toronto lineup should help his numbers recover to some degree.

The Blue Jays are expected to finalize a deal Wednesday to acquire Chapman from the Athletics in exchange for an unspecified prospect haul, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Toronto had a big hole at the hot corner, and Chapman is one of the best defensive players in all of baseball, so he's an excellent real-life acquisition. Chapman, 28, has hit .230/.323/.466 over the past three seasons, but his strikeout rate spiked to 35.5 percent in 2020 and was 32.5 percent in 2021. As a right-handed hitter, he gets a slight upgrade in home park and a massive lineup upgrade.

Chapman is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barring an appearance off the bench, Chapman finishes the season slashing .210/.314/.403 with 27 home runs and 72 RBI. Chad Pinder is starting at third base and batting cleanup Sunday.

Chapman will sit for Friday's game against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman has failed to meet expectations at the plate this season, posting a career-low .718 OPS, and he's been particularly poor recently, recording just one hit and 13 strikeouts across his last seven games. He'll sit Friday, with Josh Harrison taking over at the hot corner.

Chapman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Oakland managed only four hits in the contest, with Chapman's fifth-inning solo blast accounting for the team's lone run. He was the only Athletics batter to reach base more than once in the loss. Chapman has four homers through 16 games in September, but he is batting a meager .192 in that span.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a walk and a strikeout in 3-2 win over the Angels on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman doubled in the second inning, homered in the fourth and walked in the 10th to reach base three times for the second time this weekend. Despite a slow September thus far, Chapman had a strong series against Los Angeles, going 4-for-11 with three walks.

Chapman (lower leg) went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run in a win over the Angels on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

After having missed the last four games with lower-leg soreness stemming from an errant foul ball last Saturday, Chapman was back in the starting nine. The slugging third baseman had been in a 1-for-17, six-game funk prior to his string of absences, so perhaps Friday's productive showing will help ignite a more fruitful stretch at the plate.
