Chapman (lower leg) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Royals.

Chapman hasn't appeared in any of the last three games as he continues to recover after fouling a ball off his left lower leg Saturday.

Josh Harrison will start at third base while Chad Pinder enters the lineup in right field.

Josh Harrison will shift to third base while Seth Brown enters the lineup in left field.
