Chapman went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a third run scored in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Chapman's 359-foot shot in the first inning gave the Athletics a quick lead and snapped an 0-for-16 skid that had encompassed his prior five games. The slugging third baseman only has three round trippers in the second half of the season, with two of those having come since the calendar flipped to August. Chapman's multi-hit effort was also his first since July 21, a testament to the extent of his recent struggles at the plate.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman had gone hitless in 12 at-bats since his last long ball on July 27, but he broke out in a big spot in this contest, cranking a go-ahead two-run blast off Josh Hader in the eighth inning that put the Athletics ahead for good. The All-Star third baseman has endured some dry spells at the dish this season, but he's managed to offset them with enough hot streaks that leave him with very solid numbers overall, as he's slashing .261/.341/.524 to go along with 24 homers and 64 RBI across 452 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman's sore left ankle kept him out of the lineup the past two days, though he was able to enter Friday's win as a late-inning defensive replacement. After incurring no setbacks coming out of that contest nor during his pregame workout Saturday, he'll draw back into the starting nine for the penultimate game of the series.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to the game, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reported that Chapman was slated to receive ongoing treatment during the early part of the game and would potentially be available off the bench late in the contest. That's precisely what came to pass, although the young slugger didn't log an at-bat when Liam Hendriks was able to slam the door for his seventh save. Considering he was healthy enough to make an appearance in the field Friday, it seems highly likely Chapman returns to the starting nine Saturday night as projected.
