Chapman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Making his return from a three-game absence due to a sore wrist, Chapman appeared to be fully healthy when he deposited a Jordan Lyles slider into the left-field seats in the fourth inning for his eighth homer of the year. The third baseman has had an unproductive start to his Blue Jays tenure, but advanced metrics -- including a 92nd percentile AEV and 93rd percentile hard hit rate -- suggest he has been mostly unlucky, while his .324/.410/.559 slash line through nine games in June is a strong sign that luck is beginning to turn.

Chapman (wrist) took part in batting practice Monday and is expected to return to the starting lineup Tuesday against Baltimore, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell noted that Chapman looked strong during his session of batting practice, and he also stated that the third baseman will likely be available to pinch hit Monday evening if called upon. Confirmation of Chapman's return to the starting nine should come closer to first pitch Tuesday.

However, he said Sunday that he hoped to return to the lineup Monday or Tuesday, so he should remain day-to-day for now. Santiago Espinal is shifting to the hot corner while Cavan Biggio starts at second base once again.

Chapman is dealing with wrist soreness, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury seemingly explains both why Chapman wasn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers and why he wasn't available to pinch hit with his side trailing in the ninth inning. As long as his diagnosis remains nothing worse than soreness, Chapman probably won't miss too many more games, but it's unclear whether or not he'll return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale.

Chapman will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
After going 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run in Saturday's 6-5 win, Chapman will climb from the No. 7 spot in the order to fifth. Chapman's rise up the lineup corresponds with Vladimir Guerrero (wrist) and Teoscar Hernandez (rest day) taking a seat Sunday, so Chapman may still find himself in a bottom-third spot in the order for most games in spite of Saturday's strong day at the plate.
