US EditionSF Giants Expect Casey Schmitt to Avoid Injured List After HBP
Matt Chapman returns to the injured list with right hand inflammation, while Landen Roupp rejoins the starting rotation after recovering from elbow inflammation, Giants struggle with a 7-21 record over 28 games.
- On August 13, the San Francisco Giants placed Matt Chapman on the 10-day injured list and reinstated Landen Roupp to start against the Rays, while Ryan Walker was placed on the paternity list and Keaton Winn recalled.
- Earlier this year, Chapman suffered a sprained right hand after a June 8 dive back to first base, missing 23 games before his return later this year.
- Prior to his latest injury, he posted an.812 OPS with 12 homers, but Chapman’s OPS dropped to.655 over 31 games since July 5.
- With Chapman sidelined, Casey Schmitt, infielder, will move from second base to third, with Christian Koss and Tyler Fitzgerald as options at second.
- The Giants’ 7-21 record over their last 28 games with a six-game losing streak and a 1-14 home record suggests a late wild card push may be unlikely, even if Chapman returns soon.
