Giants’ Matt Chapman Faces Extended IL Stint

News summary

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman was placed on the 10-day injured list with right hand inflammation after jamming it while diving back to first base during Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Braves. X-rays were negative, but an MRI revealed sprained ligaments, and Chapman now expects to miss more than the minimum 10 days, aiming to return before the All-Star break. Chapman leads the team in home runs and on-base percentage, batting .243 with 12 home runs and 30 RBIs in 65 games this season. The Giants have recalled infielder Christian Koss from Triple-A Sacramento, with Casey Schmitt set to cover third base in Chapman's absence. The injury comes as the Giants ride a five-game winning streak and remain contenders in the National League West. Chapman's defensive skills and recent offensive contributions make his absence a significant loss for the team.
