Chapman was removed in the bottom of the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Guardians due to an inflamed right middle finger. He went 0-for-1 with a walk prior to being lifted for a pinch hitter.

EDGE Analysis

As Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star notes, the injury is to the same finger that Chapman pinched two weeks ago during an accident in the weight room. He ended up missing three straight games due to the injury before returning to the lineup Friday and starting in each of the last nine contests while going 5-for-32 with three walks against 14 strikeouts. The likes of Cavan Biggio, Santiago Espinal and Davis Schneider could all be in store for added opportunities in the Toronto infield during the upcoming week if either Chapman or Bo Bichette (quadricep) misses time due to the injury he sustained Sunday.

Chapman (finger) is back in the lineup Friday versus the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman will start at third base and bat fifth after missing a handful of games due to inflammation in his right middle finger. He's sporting a .796 OPS with 15 home runs and 49 RBI through 116 games (485 plate appearances) this season for Toronto.

Chapman (finger) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old was scratched from Sunday's starting nine due to inflammation in his right middle finger, and he'll sit again Tuesday after Monday's team off day. The Blue Jays have another day off coming Thursday, so it's possible Chapman is also held out for Wednesday's series finale to provide a couple extra days of rest. Santiago Espinal is manning the hot corner and batting eighth Tuesday.

Chapman was scratched from Toronto's lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Cubs due to inflammation in his right middle finger, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of Chapman's injury is unclear, but it is apparently enough to keep him out of Sunday's contest. The Blue Jays will take a closer look at him and should offer more information in the near future. Meanwhile, Santiago Espinal will slide over to third base in Chapman's place, and Paul DeJong will enter at shortstop.

Chapman is not in the lineup Tuesday at Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman will grab some physical and mental rest after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's series opener against the Guardians. Santiago Espinal is covering third base and batting eighth for the Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Friday's 7-3 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

He capped a five-homer eruption from the Blue Jays offense with a ninth-inning shot off Richard Bleier. Chapman's white-hot start to the season has faded, but he's remained reasonably productive -- in 20 games since the All-Star break, he's slashing .243/.384/.457 with three of his 15 homers on the season.

Chapman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 6-3 extra-innings win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman's eighth-inning blast briefly gave the Blue Jays a 3-2 lead. He snapped a 12-game homer drought, though he was modestly productive by batting .263 (10-for-38) with 10 walks over that span. The third baseman is slugging .462 this season, his highest mark since 2020, but it's coming from an uptick in doubles to offset a relative lack of over-the-fence power. He's at 13 long balls, 43 RBI, 54 runs scored, three stolen bases and 31 doubles through 98 contests overall.

Chapman went 2-for-3 with a homer, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Red Sox. He also stole a base.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman's two-run blast in the bottom of the eighth brought the Blue Jays back within one run of the Red Sox, though the team's late comeback effort would ultimately fall short. The third baseman reached base three times in the contest and recorded his first multi-RBI game since June 11 against the Twins. It was also the first time in 13 games that Chapman didn't have at least one strikeout.

Chapman went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's victory over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman led off the second inning with a double, which kick-started a five-run frame for Toronto as they jumped on Sandy Alcantara early. The third baseman then added a leadoff homer in the eighth, his 10th of the season, giving the Blue Jays a late insurance run. It was a nice showing for Chapman, who is still hitting just .206 in June after the two-hit performance, though he's recorded two hits and a walk in back-to-back games now.

Chapman is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman has appeared in 70 of Toronto's 72 games thus far this season, but the third baseman will get a day off for the series finale against Texas on Sunday. Santiago Espinal will take over at third base and hit seventh while Chapman rests.
