Matt Chapman DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman will start on the bench on Tuesday as the team continues a series against the visiting Kansas City Royals at Oracle Park. Casey Schmitt is starting at the hot corner and will hit seventh against Royals right-hander Michael Lorenzen. Chapman has really struggled at the plate so far in 2025 with the Gigantes, but he's picked things up a bit in May with a .246 average (16-for-65) with three home runs, three doubles, eight RBI, a steal and 11 runs scored in 17 games played. The 32-year-old five-time Gold Glover does have eight homers, 24 RBI and 25 runs scored, but he's hitting just .216 (37-for-171) through mid-May. Schmitt will be a low-upside DFS sleeper at third on Tuesday with a .200 average (5-for-25) in limited playing time this year. He has never faced Lorenzen in his career.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman came up clutch for his team during Saturday's game versus the Colorado Rockies. Chapman was quiet at the plate until he came up in the sixth inning with the bases loaded. The right-handed slugger blasted a 402-foot shot off righty Jake Bird to give his team the lead. The veteran slugger has two homers and five RBI over his last two games. Chapman probably wishes that he could play the Rockies forever, but sadly that is over for now. He has an ugly slash line, but his seven homers and 21 RBI does make up for it.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman went 2-for-3 with a home run and a stolen base to carry the Giants to a 3-2 victory over the Angels. Chapman's two-run blast off Kyle Hendricks in the first gave the team a lead it would hold the entire game, and he singled and stole second in the fourth inning, before being stranded. The 31-year-old veteran is finding some rhythm at the plate after a slow start and now has four home runs and three stolen bases to go with his .250 batting average and .386 wOBA on the year. He has four multi-hit games in his last five contests, going 8-for-16 (.500) with a double, two stolen bases, and two home runs in that span. He and the Giants will look to secure a series win on Sunday in Anaheim and then head home to face the Brewers and the Rangers this coming week.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman had a big game in a 6-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Chapman went 2-for-4 with a homer, two runs, and three RBI but it wasn't enough for his team to overcome the Phillies. The veteran infielder is now hitting .239 with three homers, 11 runs, 12 RBI, and two steals across 67 at-bats this season. Chapman is showing signs of heating up with a .304 average over his past seven games.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman went 0-for-5 with a run scored on Wednesday and is hitting just .205 through his first 12 games of the season. He does have a pair of home runs, eight walks, and eight RBI, so he has still contributed to the Giants' 9-3 start to the season, but his batting average is lagging. His batted-ball data shows a decline in hard-hit rate to just 33.3% so far this season, which would be his lowest rate since arriving in the MLB in 2017 with the Athletics. He has gone 0-for-17 in his last four games, and he'll look to turn things around on Friday after Thursday's day off as the Giants start a 10-game road trip with matchups against the Yankees, Phillies, and Angels.
