Chapman went 2-for-4 with a game-winning three-run home run and a walk in a victory over the Rays on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman played the hero Thursday, squaring up on a Diego Castillo offering and launching it 423 feet to left center with Jurickson Profar and Marcus Semien aboard and the Athletics down to their last out. The hard-hitting third baseman's clutch homer was yet another success story in his current heater at the plate, one that's now seen him hit safely in seven consecutive games and raise his season average 15 points to .264 in the process. Moreover, the round tripper was also Chapman's first since June 2, a span of 15 games.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a double, a run-scoring fielder's choice, a walk and a run in a win over the Orioles on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman was a constant presence on the bases in the win, and he contributed to a six-double explosion by the Athletics. The third baseman now has a six-game hitting streak and has laced a total of five extra-base hits (four doubles, one triple) over that span.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Mariners on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a second consecutive strong performance for Chapman, who'd broken out of a slump Friday with another two-hit effort that included his second triple of the season. Saturday brought another extra-base hit, as well as Chapman's first RBI since June 5. The two-game surge has boosted his June average back over the Mendoza Line to .208, although his overall struggles have resulted in a 14-point tumble for his season average since the start of the month.

Chapman went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk and a run in a loss to the Mariners on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
On a night when the Athletics offense was largely silent, Chapman made some noise with his second triple of the season. The two-hit effort was a much-needed respite from a multi-game slump, as Chapman had gone just 1-for-27 over the previous seven contests.

Chapman went 3-for-6 with a solo home run and a double during Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman recorded his first three-hit game in nearly a month as he homered in the eighth inning to tie the score. He has been on a major source of power over his last eight games, recording five home runs, seven RBI and eight RBI during that stretch. Chapman will look to continue his recent success in the next series at the Angels.

Chapman went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run homer in a 3-2 loss to the Astros on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
His third-inning blast off Brad Peacock accounted for all of Oakland's offense on the night. Chapman was a beast to close out May, slashing .310/.341/.714 over the last 10 games with five homers and 10 RBI. After slugging a career-high 24 home runs in 2018, the 26-year-old has already gone yard 15 times this season.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run -- his 14th of the season -- Monday in the Athletics' 8-5 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
For the third consecutive game, Chapman homered as part of a two-hit effort. The recent surge has been a reassuring sign for fantasy managers who may have started to lose faith in Chapman after he slashed .202/.275/.384 with only three long balls in his prior 23 contests.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored during Sunday's 7-1 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman started the scoring with a two-run home run in the first inning, later adding a double and coming around to score. The slugger now has 27 extra-base hits through 199 at-bats this season to push his OPS to an impressive .892. His rise to prominence is rather similar to that of Josh Donaldson a few years ago, and the A's would obviously be thrilled if he could maintain this level of play.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Mariners on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman opened the scoring with a 403-foot shot to right center, his 12th of the season and second in the last five games. The slugging infielder has now reached safely in five of the last six contests as well, while his .518 slugging percentage checks in second only to Mark Canha's .603 figure on the Athletics.
