3 years agoOakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a loss to the Mariners on Monday. His third whiff of the night was his 198th of the season, passing Jack Cust for the most strikeouts in a season in franchise history. Chapman simply hasn't looked right since having hip surgery after the 2019 season. He posted a whopping 35% strikeout rate in the shortened 2020 season and has posted a 32.7% K-rate this year while setting the strikeout record for Oakland. Perhaps a full offseason of rest and recovery will help Chapman return to his All-Star ways in 2022? That's a debate for next year. For now, Chapman isn't a start-worthy player in fantasy for the last week of the season.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
