Matt Chapman Stats

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a loss to the Mariners on Monday. His third whiff of the night was his 198th of the season, passing Jack Cust for the most strikeouts in a season in franchise history. Chapman simply hasn't looked right since having hip surgery after the 2019 season. He posted a whopping 35% strikeout rate in the shortened 2020 season and has posted a 32.7% K-rate this year while setting the strikeout record for Oakland. Perhaps a full offseason of rest and recovery will help Chapman return to his All-Star ways in 2022? That's a debate for next year. For now, Chapman isn't a start-worthy player in fantasy for the last week of the season.

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Angels on Sunday afternoon. The blast was Chapman's 26th of the season as he's had a decent season in the power department despite his batting average woes. The 28-year-old is batting just .222 this season thanks to a sky-high 31.7% strikeout rate. This comes on the heels of a 35% strikeout rate in the 2020 season, so there is reason to believe Chapman's whiff issues are here to stay. He's a fringe-starter in deeper roto leagues ahead of a three-game set with the Mariners.

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman (shin) is unlikely to play in Sunday's finale with the Rangers, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Chapman exited in the fifth inning after he had fouled a ball off his shin, and manager Bob Melvin said that he doubts Chapman will return to the lineup tomorrow. Josh Harrison entered the game to replace him, and will likely get the start at third in Sunday's finale.
