Matt Chapman (thumb, shoulder) could play for Athletics on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics Matt Chapman (thumb, shoulder) could make his Cactus League debut as soon as Tuesday.

What It Means:

The Athletics have been taking it easy with Chapman following offseason thumb and shoulder procedures. If he avoids a setback, the 25-year-old should be fine for Opening Day.

numberFire's models project Chapman for a .266 batting average with 26 home runs, 76 RBI, and 87 runs scored in 2019.
