Chapman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, two walks and two runs in a win over the Yankees on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman was a constant offensive presence in the resounding win, and his strong night was akin to an oasis in the desert for fantasy owners. Prior to Friday's production, Chapman was mired in a 3-for-38 slump that dated back to April 28, and he hadn't homered since April 27. The performance against the Yankees was certainly a good start, but given the extent of his struggles, the 25-year-old's May average still remains a minuscule .088.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman opened the scoring against Dallas Keuchel with a solo home run in the fifth inning. He doubled off Keuchel in his next at-bat, coming around to score on a Matt Olson single. Chapman is now hitting .278 with six home runs and 15 RBI. His 21 runs scored leads all third basemen in the majors, and his .932 OPS is good for fourth best at the position.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk in a win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman's second three-bagger of the season was no small feat, as it came off a Chris Sale offering. The 24-year-old has now hit in three straight games, although he's only 3-for-14 overall during that stretch, and just 3-for-21 in his last six contests. Despite the rough patch, a hot start to April that included five home runs still has Chapman's monthly line at an impressive .299/.390/.597 over 76 plate appearances.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old now has five homers and 12 RBI through 14 games to go along with a surprising .358 (19-for-53) batting average. Don't expect that batting average to last -- his 81 percent contact rate is almost certainly unsustainable for a player who was usually in the high 60s in the minors -- but Chapman's power is very much for real, and 30 or even 40 home runs in his first full MLB campaign is entirely within his reach.

Chapman went 2-for-6 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 16-6 rout of the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old's blistering start to the season continues. Chapman is now slashing .347/.418/.653 through 13 games with four homers and 11 RBI, and his 18.2 percent strikeout rate is a huge improvement on the 28.2 percent mark he managed as a rookie. His minor-league numbers suggest there will be whiffs and cold spells at the plate coming, but if he has taken a step forward with his plate discipline, Chapman could avoid being a liability in batting average while still supplying the big power numbers expected of him.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with an RBI triple, two walks and two runs in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman's first three-bagger of the season extended the Athletics' lead to 5-3 in the eighth, providing some much-needed breathing room that they'd go on to expand. The 24-year-old is riding a nine-game hitting streak, and given that he walked during an 0-for-4 performance on Opening Day, he's reached safely in all 10 games this season.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with two-run home run and two runs scored during Friday's 13-9 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The third baseman has exploded out of the gate with three homers, seven RBI and seven runs through the first nine games, and he's also cut his strikeout percentage down to 21.6 after recording a 28.2 mark last year. Continuing to minimize his strikeouts will help him prolong his hot start, and his glove should keep him in the lineup through any slumps. While it's obviously still early, Chapman is definitely trending in the right direction.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with two runs in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

That's three straight two-hit outings for Chapman, who owns a five-game hitting streak overall. The season-opening surge has the infielder in sole possession of the Athletics' offensive leaderboard in the early going, an encouraging sign given the subpar .234 average and .313 OBP he generated in 2017.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

That's homers in back-to-back games for Chapman, who's also reached safely in all five games of the season thus far. The 24-year-old has also gone down on strikes at least once in four of those contests, so his career-long struggles with contact rate remain very much a part of his profile for the time being. However, the early power display certainly serves as a potential launchpad towards building on the 14 round trippers he slugged over 326 plate appearances in his rookie campaign.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

His 392-foot shot to left center off Shohei Otani in the second plated Matt Joyce and Stephen Piscotty to give the Athletics an early 3-2 lead. After a hitless opener, Chapman came on over the final three games of the four-game set, going 4-for10 with a double, Sunday's home run, four RBI and a walk.
