Chapman, who went 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk in a loss to the Yankees on Sunday, now has a nine-game hitting streak during which he's hitting .371 (13-for-35) with eight total extra-base hits (four doubles, Sunday's three-bagger and three home runs) and eight RBI.
EDGE Analysis
The slugging third baseman slugged his eighth home run in Saturday's loss to New York and continued squaring up impressively with his third three-bagger of the season Sunday. The surge has lifted the 28-year-old's sagging slash line a bit to .225/.326/.389, and although it remains well below what fantasy managers expect, at least 21 of Chapman's 54 hits have gone for extra bases.

Chapman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman slammed a first inning home run off Kris Bubic to get the Athletics on the board early Sunday. The 28-year-old has homered in back-to-back games after failing to hit a long ball since May 5. He is slashing just .221/.321/.374 with seven homers, 29 RBI and 28 runs in 265 plate appearances. It's nice to see him flash his power again after smashing 36 long balls in 2019.

Chapman went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three total RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman was a key offensive piece for the Athletics on Saturday, blasting his sixth homer of the season in the sixth inning and also ripping his ninth double of the campaign. The star third baseman has hit safely in four of Oakland's last six games and has posted back-to-back multi-hit games. He's hitting .305 across 36 at-bats this month.

Chapman went 3-for-4 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and two runs in a win over the Royals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The struggling third baseman led the Athletics in hits on the night with his first multi-hit effort since June 2. Chapman also went without a punchout for only the second time in the last 12 games, but he continues to carry a bloated 32.0 percent strikeout rate for the season that qualifies as the second highest of his career.

Chapman went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run in a win over the Mariners on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The struggling third baseman entered Wednesday's contest having produced an unacceptable .073/.231/.073 slash line and 30.8 percent strikeout rate across the 52 plate appearances covering his previous 13 games. However, Chapman managed to vault his average back over the Mendoza Line with his first multi-hit effort since May 18, the game prior to the beginning of the skid. Despite Wednesday's success, Chapman's season .205 average and .653 OPS are significantly below his career norms, although he's offered fantasy managers some solace by lacing one-third of his 39 hits for extra bases (six doubles, two triples, five home runs), helping lead to 21 RBI.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and another two-bagger in a win over the Astros on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman's two-game, 5-for-8 tear has quickly boosted his average 23 points to .233, and he's also driven in four runs along the way. The third baseman's slugging percentage remains a pedestrian .404 at the moment, but he has contributed 13 extra-base hits (six doubles, two triples, five home runs) and currently boasts a career-high 12.8 percent walk rate that has his OBP at a respectable .331.

Chapman went 3-for-4 with three RBI in Sunday's 7-6 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis

The slugging third baseman has just two multi-hit games this month, both coming in his last seven appearances. Chapman is slashing .225/.327/.387 with 18 RBI through 42 games.
