Chapman (knee) was scheduled for a Sunday release from his multi-day hospital stay, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie had been laid up since Thursday due to cellulitis in his left knee, with an antibiotic IV serving as his main course of treatment. Chapman was originally scheduled to leave the hospital on Friday, but the extra time was apparently necessary to adequately treat the infection. Although the 24-year-old's exact return date remains up in the air, the hospital discharge is obviously a key step in the recovery process.

Chapman (knee) will spend one more night in the hospital before being discharged, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman is making good progress with the knee infection, but will not be eligible to return until the end of next week. Barring any setbacks, Chapman should continue to be a key name in A's lineup moving forward.

Chapman is in the hospital receiving an antibiotic IV for the cellulitis in his left knee, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. He's expected to be discharged tomorrow, and the Athletics Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle from the 10-day disabled list when eligible.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman was just getting a clear opportunity at playing time before a knee infection halted him. The medical treatment seems to be working, though, and barring a setback, Chapman should keep only a normal DL stay.

Chapman was placed on the 10-day disabled list Thursday with left knee cellulitis, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman clubbed 16 home runs at Triple-A Nashville and earned a recent call-up, but he's dealt with knee issues the last few days and will spend some time on the sidelines. Matt Olson will return from Nashville and may assume a decent workload in at least the short term.

Chapman (knee) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman will remain on the bench for a third straight contest as he continues to recover from a knee infection. It appears the top prospect is improving thanks to a steady dose of antibiotics, so he'll hopefully be able to return to the lineup in the coming days. While Chapman remains day-to-day, Ryon Healy will draw another start in his place at the hot corner.

Chapman (knee) said that the antibiotics are reducing the swelling as hoped, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The top prospect also has better range of motion in his knee since starting the medication, so it seems that the situation is nearly handled. The plan is for Chapman to continue taking the antibiotics over the next couple with the hope of returning to the lineup afterward. Consider him day-to-day for now, with Ryon Healy taking over at third base in the meantime.

Chapman (knee) is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Astros, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As anticipated, Chapman will watch Tuesday's bout from the bench as he continues to nurse a knee infection. More information regarding his status for the coming days is expected to come forth relatively soon, so consider him day-to-day for the time being. Ryon Healy will log another start at the hot corner to replace him.

Chapman is undergoing treatment with antibiotics for a knee infection, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman is still under observation by team doctors. The third baseman slid into the wall making a catch while on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento, and has also made some diving plays in Oakland, but the club and player are both unsure when or where the infection started. A timeframe for Chapman's return won't be available for at least 24 hours, so it seems reasonable to expect he will miss Tuesday's game as well.

Chapman is not in the lineup Monday against the Astros, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chapman is hitting just .214 with seven strikeouts during the early stages of his MLB debut, so he'll get his first night off Monday. Ryon Healy will man the hot corner in his stead, with Adam Rosales entering the lineup to round out the lineup.

Chapman went 1-for-4 with three RBI against the Yankees on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
On the second night of his career in the majors, Chapman broke through with a go-ahead, two-run single in the bottom of the eighth to give the A's a 7-6 lead that would hold as the final. He had driven in the first run of his career during the second inning on a groundout. All in all, it was a good night and sign of pleasant things to come for the team's sixth-ranked prospect.
