Matt Chapman News
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and is playing third base and batting sixth in the order against the visiting Texas Rangers and right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Outfielder Nathan Lukes was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Chapman is back with the team for the first time since going on the injured list on Aug. 28 due to a sprained finger, but he's now back as the team's regular starter at the hot corner. The 30-year-old veteran wasn't swinging the bat well before his injury, so fantasy managers may not want to expect him to return with a flurry of hits. Overall in his second year in Toronto, Chapman has hit .248/.338/.431 with 15 home runs, 36 doubles, a triple, 50 RBI, three steals and 61 runs scored in 520 trips to the plate and 125 games.
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman (finger) is going through a full day of baseball activities on Tuesday, including hitting off a velocity machine. The hope is that he will return from the injured list later this week. When Chapman returns to the big-league roster, he'll return to regular duties at the hot corner, moving Santiago Espinal and Cavan Biggio back to bench roles in Toronto. In his second year with the Jays, Chapman has hit .248/.338/.431 with 15 home runs, 36 doubles, a triple, 50 RBI, three stolen bases and 61 runs scored in 520 trips to the plate and 125 games. He's been slightly disappointing from a power perspective after clubbing 27 home runs each of the previous two seasons in Oakland and Toronto.
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman (finger) resumed baseball activity and began hitting and throwing on Friday. The 30-year-old has resided on the injured list since Aug. 28 because of a right middle finger sprain and remains with no clear return timeline. Chapman should be stashed wherever possible, but he's been an ordinary fantasy asset after winning April's Player of the Month award. The slugger was slashing .190/.256/.266 with one home run, three doubles, and six RBI in his most recent 22 games (79 at-bats) before going down. Santiago Espinal and Cavan Biggio have split work at the hot corner in Chapman's stead, but the platoon leaves neither deserving of much of much attention in deeper-mixed/AL-only leagues.

It wasn't a banner year at the plate for Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman in his first season north of the border, but a solid second half led to quality production across the board. Chapman hit 27 home runs with 83 runs and 76 RBI last season and significantly increased his BB% and OPS after the All-Star break as he settled into his new club. His underlying metrics were also among the league's best. While strikeout prone, Chapman ranked in the league's 93rd percentile in average exit velocity, 97th in hard-hit rate, and 88th in barrel rate. Chapman has long ranked among the best in the business in these departments, and his roto stats could shine brightest in 2023 as a result. Many projection systems such as THE BAT, ATC, and ZiPS have Chapman over 30 HR with runs and RBIs in at least the mid-80s as part of a dangerous Blue Jays offense. It also won't hurt that the already hitter-friendly Rogers Centre in Toronto is moving in its fences for the 2023 campaign. The former A's star is RotoBaller's 11th-ranked third baseman with an ADP of around 161. ATC projects Chapman with a .225/.316/.441 slash line with 28 home runs, 78 RBI, 79 runs, and a .330 WOBA in 2023. Given how often he barrels the baseball, Chapman is a steal at his current ADP, while it wouldn't hurt to call his name earlier in drafts.
