Chapman is out of Friday's lineup against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

With Oakland playing in a National League park, Ryon Healy will get the nod at third base, hitting fifth, which pushes Chapman to the bench. Chapman should be available as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement.

Chapman went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman drove in his team's first two runs off starter Dallas Keuchel, getting the scoring started with a solo homer in the fifth inning before adding a bases-loaded walk in the very next frame. The rookie third baseman fits the patient and powerful moneyball mold craved by Oakland general manager Billy Beane, as he sports a 9.8 percent walk rate and .504 slugging percentage.

Chapman went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, his 10th, and three runs in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie continues to swing a hot bat as August comes to a close, as he now has eight multi-hit efforts for the month. Chapman also went 6-for-11 over the weekend series against the Rangers and sports a .301/.372/.566 line overall in August.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

His eighth-inning blast off Brandon Maurer tied the score at 6-6, but the Oakland bullpen promptly surrendered the lead again in the ninth. Chapman now has six hits and two homers in his last five games, and he's slugged 25 long balls on the season between Triple-A (16) and the majors (nine) in only 92 games.

Chapman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie's 358-foot rocket to left in the fourth snapped a 2-2 tie and was Chapman's first homer since Aug. 4. Chapman has already compiled 10 RBI in just 12 August contests on his way to an impressive .308/.404/.615 monthly line, a stretch that's raised his season average from an unsightly .196 to .228.

Chapman (illness) is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

An illness forced Chapman from Thursday's game, but evidently he's feeling better already less than 24 hours later. Chapman has been on a great run since the break, slashing .261/.337/.614 with 16 extra-base hits (seven homers), and he looks primed to play close to every day down the stretch.

Chapman was removed from Thursday's game against the Orioles due to an illness, Joe Stiglich of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman played the first three innings of Thursday's contest before ultimately being removed, which prompted the A's to move Ryon Healy over to third base. At this time, Chapman should be considered day-to-day and his status heading into Friday's contest is uncertain.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, another two-bagger, a walk and two runs in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie has already compiled five extra-base hits (four doubles, one home run) over his first six games in August, helping lead to six RBI. He's been much more patient at the plate during that span as well, posting a 23.1 percent walk rate while striking out at only an 11.5-percent clip. Those numbers, while generated in what is admittedly a modest sample, represent an encouraging juxtaposition of his respective 10.5 percent and 29.3 percent season figures in those categories.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a double, three-run homer and two runs in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie has started August off on an absolute tear, hitting .429 (6-for-14) with two doubles, a home run and five RBI over his first four games. He's been knocking the cover off the ball overall in the second half, as evidenced by the .410 wOBA, .397 ISO and 39.3 percent hard contact rate he's tallied over 82 plate appearances he's logged during that span.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a walk in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman has a tidy run going at the plate, as he's now hit .318 (7-for-22) with a pair of doubles and four RBI over his last six games. The rookie is seeing consistent playing time, which should help him continue improving a .214 average that he's already boosted 29 points over the aforementioned stretch.
