Jays third baseman Chapman returns to lineup after missing a game with viral illness
TORONTO – Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman returned to the lineup Friday night after sitting out a game due to a viral illness.
He was a late scratch for Thursday’s series finale against the Detroit Tigers, but was set to bat fifth in the opener of a three-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Chapman is the reigning American League player of the week.
He has a .489 batting average over 12 games this season with three homers and 15 RBIs.
The Rays entered the weekend series at Rogers Centre on a season-opening 13-game win streak.
