Giants 3B Matt Chapman leaves game with abdominal strain, set for MRI on Wednesday
Matt Chapman exited after a sixth-inning play and is set for an MRI, with the Giants awaiting the extent of the abdominal strain.
- San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman exited Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks with an abdominal strain suffered in the sixth inning after fielding a ground ball to throw out Gabriel Moreno.
- The five-time Gold Glove winner faces an MRI Wednesday to determine the injury's severity; Chapman noted the abdominal area had bothered him for weeks, though pain remained manageable until Tuesday's incident.
- Despite his defensive value reflected in a 2.8 WAR, the 33-year-old has struggled offensively with a.237 batting average and 42 RBIs, while the Giants owe Chapman $100 million over four years.
- If Chapman misses time, utility player Casey Schmitt could start at third base as the Giants navigate a 35-50 record; recent roster shifts moved outfielder Jonah Cox and Luis Arraez into new positions.
- Concluding the three-game series against Arizona on Wednesday, the Giants hope the injury does not sideline their defensive stalwart for an extended period.
