Blue Jays place Matt Chapman (finger) on shelf
The Toronto Blue Jays placed infielder Matt Chapman on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right middle finger sprain.
Chapman aggravated a finger injury in Sunday's series finale against the Cleveland Guardians, but it's unclear how much time he might miss. The Blue Jays recalled infielder Ernie Clement from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding roster move. Clement will start at shortstop and hit eighth in Monday's series opener against right-hander Josiah Gray and the Washington Nationals. Davis Schneider will cover the hot corner for Chapman and hit cleanup on Monday.
numberFire’s models project Clement ($2,000) for 6.4 and Schneider ($2,800) for 11.7 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Blue Jays' implied total is 4.84 and the game total is 8.0. Gray is hiding a disappointing 4.96 xERA behind his 3.85 ERA this season while on pace for career-worsts in strikeout rate (19.9%) and walk rate (11.3%).
