Chapman set for rehab stint, nearing return
Chapman's go-ahead solo homer OAKLAND -- Matt Chapman feels strong and healthy, and in the best-case scenario, could return to the lineup on Tuesday.
After taking batting practice on Sunday, the A's third baseman will make a rehab start for Class A Advanced Stockton on Monday. He said the soreness in his right hand, which forced him to the disabled list two weeks ago, feels as good as it has all year, and he had no pain when swinging on Sunday.

"He hit a few off the back wall in center field, so that tells me enough," manager Bob Melvin said.
Chapman received another cortisone shot on Monday that appeared to work, after a previous shot was not effective.
