Matt Chapman's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman continued his strong offensive August in Monday's 4-1 win over the Nationals. Chapman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a strikeout. The 31-year-old obliterated a third-inning Patrick Corbin breaking ball deep into the left-field seats for his 18th long ball of the season. Chapman has already surpassed his HR total from last season and is batting .353 with three HR in 17 August at-bats. He has also cut his strikeout rate down to a respectable 23.9% and the Giants have started hitting better lately as a team, so he could be a fantasy catalyst for the month of August.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run in Saturday's loss to the Cincinnati Reds.

Entering this game, the third baseman was riding a stellar .375/.487/.656 slash line with two home runs, five RBI, and a 7:8 BB:K ratio through his last nine games. Overall, in his first season playing in the Bay Area, Chapman carries a .242/.33/.423 line with 48 RBI and a career-high 12 swiped bags. His excellent 12.1% barrel rate and 47.6% hard-hit rate suggest this power surge should continue all throughout the late summer. Chapman remains a solid option in DFS in favorable matches and a solid corner infielder with an upside for power in all standard leagues.

One of his hits flew 417 feet his bat at 105 MPH for a solo home run. The veteran, who came over as a free-agent this offseason from the Toronto Blue Jays is having a standard year of good power with a lower batting average. On the season, the veteran is now hitting .233 with 14 homers, 45 RBI and 11 stolen bases. The stolen bases have been a big surprise with him only have 11 career swipes entering the season. The veteran has his ups and downs, but is a solid option in deeper mixed league for managers seeking some power at the hot corner.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman hit his ninth homer of the season in Monday's 5-4 win over the Chicago Cubs. It was the first home run in June for Chapman, who took Justin Steele deep in the bottom of the fifth to start the Giants' comeback from a 4-0 deficit. Chapman has flustered fantasy managers, but his 2-for-4 effort that included two runs scored on Monday might push him out of his funk. He is slashing .233/.313/.394 with 31 RBI, yet ranks among the top 20 with 50 runs scored. The power will eventually return for Chapman, but as long as he continues to find his way across home plate, his ability to score runs justifies keeping him in lineups in most leagues.
