Matt Chapman Remains Out Against Phillies
1 year agoToronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman (finger) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. Santiago Espinal is filling in at the hot corner and will hit eighth in the lineup against Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler. Chapman is dealing with inflammation in his right middle finger. He was scratched from Sunday's lineup and will remain out after Monday's scheduled off day. It doesn't sound like anything too serious, so the 30-year-old should be considered day-to-day this week. Chapman is Toronto's regular third baseman when healthy and he's currently hitting .255/.346/.449 with 15 home runs, 49 RBI, three stolen bases and 60 runs scored in 423 at-bats. He's cooled off so far in August, going 10-for-44 (.227) with only one homer, five RBI and three runs scored in 12 games (11 starts).
