Chapman went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a two-run home run in a win over the Indians on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman's 388-foot shot to left with a man aboard in the eighth gave the Athletics some much-needed breathing room after the Indians had closed to within a run. The slugging shortstop has now hit safely in four of the last five games, although the homer was his first since May 10. Chapman currently sports a solid .264/.357/.522 line across 207 plate appearances, and he's encouragingly carrying career-best figures in walk rate (11.6 percent) and strikeout rate (15.9 percent).

Facing Cleveland closer Brad Hand in the 12th inning, Chapman got a 3-2 slider on the inner part of the plate and ripped it 427 feet down the left-field line. It's the first walkoff hit of any kind in his career, but it likely won't be the last. Chapman now boasts a .279/.368/.565 slash line through 40 games with 10 homers and 23 RBI.

Chapman went 3-for-6 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in a 14-1 victory against the Pirates on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has always been an underrated fantasy contributor, but early this season, he's been one of the top third basemen in the league. Chapman is 5-for-10 in the last two games, which has raised his season batting average to an even .300. He possesses a great eye, which is evident by his 16 walks versus only 17 strikeouts, and yet he also has nine home runs. Chapman is also slashing .300/.390/.600 with 18 extra-base hits, 22 RBI and 18 runs in 141 plate appearances this year.

Chapman went 1-for-2 with three walks and a solo home run in Tuesday's 11-5 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The third baseman has been showing exceptional patience lately, drawing seven free passes in the last three games, and he was rewarded Tuesday with a fastball he yanked over the left-field fence in the first inning for his seventh homer of the year. Chapman's .318/.417/.624 slash line through 26 contests puts the 25-year-old on pace for a breakout in his third MLB campaign.

Chapman went 2-for-3 in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman had one of only two multi-hit efforts on the day for the Athletics, who were stymied by Matt Shoemaker and two relievers. The third baseman has hit safely in three straight, and Saturday's second straight two-hit effort vaulted his average back over the .300 mark to .309.

Chapman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis
