Matt Chapman Stats

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman enjoyed a solid game Monday against the Seattle Mariners, going 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk. While it was his sixth homer of the season, strong games have been hard to come by for Chapman this year. In May, he's managed just five hits total in 44 at-bats. After a down 2021 season in which he recorded a .717 OPS in 609 plate appearances, fantasy managers have to be concerned that things won't get much better than Chapman's current .185/.266/.637 slash line, though he should continue to get into the lineup and provide some power on the back of his stellar defense at the hot corner.

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman is absent from the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Luis Severino and the Toronto Blue Jays. Santiago Espinal is shifting over to cover third base for the game while Cavan Biggio is at the keystone. Chapman is off to a slow start to the year. Over his first six games as a Blue Jay, he's gone 4-for-21 with a home run and a double. The most alarming statistic is his nine strikeouts as strikeouts have been a big problem for him over the years. Expect to see him back in the lineup on Friday, when he'll be facing his former team, the Oakland Athletics.

The Toronto Blue Jays and third baseman Matt Chapman have agreed to a two-year, $25 million contract extension on Tuesday, according to sources. The Blue Jays buy out Chapman's final two years of arbitration with the new deal after acquiring him from the Oakland Athletics in a trade. The 28-year-old will receive a $1 million signing bonus and will have salaries of $12 million in 2022 and 2023, per MLB Network's Jon Heyman. Chapman's defense is among the best in the league at the hot corner, but he's struggled at the plate the last two years and hit just .210/.314/.403 with 27 home runs and 72 RBI in 622 plate appearances over 151 games in his final season with the A's. But with the move to a stacked Blue Jays lineup and a much better hitting environment, Chapman's fantasy stock is on the rise.
