4 years agoOakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 1-for-4 with an RBI in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday. The RBI was Chapman's second on the young season as the All-Star third baseman has gotten off to a slow start, batting just .133 through five losses to begin 2021. Despite the slow start, fantasy managers should leave Chapman locked into starting lineups. He has been in the top-eight percent of players in hard hit rate and average exit velocity in three-straight seasons and he posted an elite 18 percent barrel rate last year. Chapman is fine and the hits should start falling for him soon enough. Things won't get any easier in the immediate future, however, with matchups against Clayton Kershaw and Trevor Bauer in his next two games.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
