Chapman (head) is expected to start Thursday's game against the Rangers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The 27-year-old was hit in the helmet by a pitch Tuesday and was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup, though he still appeared in the contest as a defensive replacement. Chapman didn't suffer a concussion, so the A's were likely just expressing caution with their third baseman.
