7 years agoOakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman was taken out of Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Astros in the seventh inning due to a right hand contusion, per MLB.com's Jane Lee. Chapman uncharacteristically made two errors and went 0-for-2 before exiting the game. He dealt with the same issue in spring training and said that he has been dealing with it all season after Thursday's game. The 25-year-old had started to get things going at the plate in June, hitting .368 with four doubles. A prolonged injury would be a big blow to the A's team and fantasy owners, who should monitor him closely until he completes his MRI.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller
