Arizona Diamondbacks

On November 19, 2023, Chapparo signed a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks.[8] In 95 games for the Triple–A Reno Aces in 2024, he batted .332/.403/.564 with 19 home runs and 75 RBI.

Washington Nationals

On July 30, 2024, the Diamondbacks traded Chaparro to the Washington Nationals in exchange for Dylan Floro.[9] In 10 games for the Triple–A Rochester Red Wings, he hit .286/.419/.657 with four home runs and 10 RBI. On August 13, Chaparro was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[10] He made his MLB debut that day against the Baltimore Orioles, going 3–for–4 with three doubles.[11]
