Chapman will sit for the seventh straight game with right hip tendinitis Saturday against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman still hasn't been placed on the injured list, though if he had been when he first suffered the injury, he'd be eligible to return next Thursday. Given that he's still yet to resume baseball activities and doesn't have a timeline to do so, it's quite possible he won't return before that date. Vimael Machin will serve as the third baseman Saturday.

There are no plans for Chapman (hip) to do any baseball activities in the near future, although the Athletics are maintaining he did not suffer any setbacks, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

A report from John Hickey of SI.com on Tuesday suggested Chapman would start baseball-related activities Wednesday, but the A's are saying that was never the plan. The latest reports suggest Chapman won't be back this weekend, at which point it may make sense for Oakland to place him on the injured list. He suffered a right hip strain Sept. 6. Chad Pinder is starting at third base and batting eighth Thursday.

Chapman (hip) didn't resume baseball activities Wednesday and may not do so Thursday, Alex Coffey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Bob Melvin didn't indicate the 27-year-old suffered a setback with the right hip tendinitis, but something changed as he was previously expected to participate in baseball activities Wednesday. Chapman doesn't have an official timeline for his return but seems likely to be sidelined for at least another couple games.

Chapman (hip) will resume baseball activities Wednesday, John Hickey of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman is dealing with right hip tendinitis, but he'll test things out Wednesday. He didn't rule out a return by Thursday, but his timetable likely depends on how he feels after participating in baseball activities. Chad Pinder is taking over at third base for Tuesday's matinee.

Chapman was diagnosed with right hip tendonitis Monday but is not expected to head to the injured list, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman suffered the injury, which was originally called a strain, Sunday against San Diego. It remains unclear when exactly he'll return, but that should happen within the next few days. Tommy La Stella will serve as the third baseman Monday, with Tony Kemp starting at second base.

Chapman (hip) is out of the lineup as expected Monday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman isn't expected to return before Wednesday after suffering a hip strain Sunday against the Padres. Whether or not he'll require a trip to the injured list remains to be seen. Tommy La Stella will be the third baseman Monday.

Athletics manager Bob Melvin said in an interview with MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that he doesn't expect Chapman (hip) to play Monday or in Oakland's doubleheader Tuesday with the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Oakland hasn't disclosed the results of the MRI that Chapman underwent on the strained right hip he sustained in Sunday's series finale with the Padres, but the injury is apparently considered serious enough to sideline him for the next two days. For now, the Athletics are hopeful a couple days of rest will be enough for Chapman to move past the hip issue, but a stint on the injured list isn't being ruled out for the slick-fielding third baseman. Chad Pinder or Tommy La Stella should serve as the primary replacements at the hot corner until Chapman is deemed ready to go.

Chapman was diagnosed with a right hip strain and will undergo an MRI, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman was forced out of Sunday's contest prior to the fifth inning due to his injury, and the MRI could help to determine the extent of the issue. A better timetable for his return should come into focus once the results of the MRI are known.

Chapman exited Sunday's game against the Padres with an apparent leg injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman was replaced defensively to begin the fifth inning, and he appeared to be having his leg looked at by trainers before he was replaced. The nature and severity of the injury aren't yet known, and it's unclear whether his availability will be impacted moving forward.

Chapman went a combined 3-for-6 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's doubleheader against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman knocked in both Oakland runs in the matinee and drove in another with a solo shot in the nightcap. The third baseman has 10 homers and 25 RBI on the season while slashing .252/.298/.580.
