The Oakland Athletics have signed Jake Lamb to replace the injured Matt Chapman.
The Oakland Athletics‘ championship aspirations were dealt a potentially crippling blow in the form of a recent injury to superstar third baseman Matt Chapman.
A torn hip labrum will preemptively end the All-Star’s season and leave the postseason bound A’s without their best player. The team recently announced the signing of former All-Star Jake Lamb to help fill this critical void.
The A’s also has the benefit of newly-acquired utility man Tommy La Stella, who Oakland added at the trade deadline, as well as veteran Chad Pinder, as reinforcements.
