Chapman, 24, was dealing with some soreness in his right palm. He visited
orthopedic hand surgeon Dr. Steven Shin near his hometown in Los Angeles for
the precautionary examination.

"We don't believe it's serious," A's general manager David Forst said of the
injury in an email to the San Francisco Chronicle.

If Chapman is sidelined, Renato Nunez and Chad Pinder are options to replace
him at third.
