Matt Chapman Won't Play Against Tigers
3 years agoToronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman (wrist) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers. Chapman also missed the game on Saturday with a wrist issue that has been bothering him of late. With Chapman out again, Santiago Espinal will get the start at third base and will hit sixth against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. On the season, Chapman is slashing just .216/.305/.371 with seven home runs, 23 RBI and 27 runs scored in 220 plate appearances and 56 games played. Espinal won't be a terrible low-cost DFS option on Sunday. He's gone 16-for-42 (.381) with three home runs and 10 RBI so far in June and is hitting a respectable .287 this year with five long balls and 28 RBI in 223 plate appearances.
