Matt Chapman is set to return to the San Francisco Giants lineup as they face his former team, the Oakland Athletics. After a brief stint recovering from a hand injury, Chapman played one Triple-A game before rejoining the Giants. He had been enjoying a productive season prior to his injury, boasting an .812 OPS alongside 12 doubles, 12 home runs, and 40 walks in just 65 games. His combination of power and speed, with 7 stolen bases, along with stellar defense at third base, makes him a crucial asset for the Giants. The Giants recently started Sergio Alcantara at third, a temporary measure as Chapman’s return solidifies the lineup. In his previous encounters against the A's, Chapman has demonstrated his prowess with 3 home runs and an .800 OPS in 16 games. This matchup is particularly compelling given the hitter-friendly environment of Sacramento.
