Matt Chapman Fantasy Stats

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman's appeal of his one-game suspension was successful, and he will start at third and bat fifth on Friday night in a crucial divisional matchup against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto at Oracle Park. Earlier this month, the Giants got in a little dust-up with the Colorado Rockies in which Chapman pushed Kyle Freeman. The 32-year-old will now avoid a suspension and will be available on Friday night. Chapman has gone hitless in five career at-bats against Yamamoto, but he'll also be coming into Friday's series opener in the Bay Area with a seven-game hitting streak. During his current seven-game hitting streak, Chapman has gone 11-for-24 with three home runs, three doubles, six RBI, and eight runs scored in 29 plate appearances. He has quietly produced his sixth 20-homer season in 2025.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman received a one-game suspension for his role in a benches-clearing incident against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. Specifically, the league punished Chapman for "pushing" Rockies starter Kyle Freeland after the left-hander got into a heated exchange with Giants slugger Rafael Devers in the first inning. Chapman and Freeland were among those ejected from the game, but only the former received a suspension. He's appealing the one-game ban and was in the starting lineup against the Rockies on Wednesday. Chapman blasted a 450-foot home run, his 19th of the season, in the top of the second inning. Major League Baseball will announce a decision on his appeal soon.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (foot, shin) is starting at third base and batting fifth for Monday's series opener against the hosting Colorado Rockies and right-hander Chase Dollander at Coors Field. Chapman was pulled out of Sunday's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles early after he fouled a ball off his foot/shin, but he avoided any broken bones and is feeling fine to play a day later. Although the 32-year-old veteran isn't having quite the year that fantasy managers had hoped for, he should be in starting lineups to begin the week at one of the most hitter-friendly environments in baseball against an inexperienced pitcher. The former first-rounder is two homers shy of a 20-homer season, but he also hit just .203 (13-for-64) with two homers, eight RBI and two steals in 19 games in the month of August.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (shin, foot) exited a 13-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday after fouling a ball off his left shin/foot in the bottom of the sixth inning. Chapman finished his plate appearance with a walk before the Giants subbed in Casey Schmitt to pinch run for him. It seems that it was a precautionary move on the Giants' part, though, as Chapman said after the game that he's doing fine and expects to play on Monday against the Colorado Rockies. After going 1-for-2 with a pair of walks on Sunday, Chapman is hitting .231/.341/.430 with 18 homers, 50 RBI, 60 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 437 plate appearances. He played in 19 games in August and went just 13-for-64 (.203) with two HRs, eight RBI, 11 runs, two steals, and 13 walks.

The San Francisco Giants have activated third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) from the 10-day injured list and optioned second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento, according to Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle. After missing the minimum of 10 days with right-hand inflammation, Chapman is back at the hot corner on Saturday and hitting sixth against Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta. Chapman, who has been on the IL twice this season with hand injuries, has hit .229/.337/.423 with 16 homers, 44 RBI, 53 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 403 plate appearances.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) took grounders on Monday and will hit on the field on Wednesday, reports Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. He was only placed on the 10-day injured list three days ago with right hand inflammation, so it's encouraging to see that he is already doing on-field work. The 32-year-old's injured list stint retroactively dates back to August 13, which means he is eligible to return to the major league roster as early as Saturday. No official timetable has been given, but it appears he should be able to return next week at the latest if everything goes smoothly.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. This comes after a hand issue kept Chapman from playing during Wednesday's contest. He underwent an MRI which ruled out any structural damage. However, Chapman is going to miss a few weeks because of this injury. The Giants haven't given a timetable for his return, but late August or early September seems to make sense. Casey Schmitt figures to see a majority of the playing time at third base while Chapman is out.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) is not in the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays at Oracle Park. Casey Schmitt will draw another start at third base for the Gigantes and will hit fifth versus Rays right-hander Joe Boyle. Christian Koss will play second and hit seventh. It will be the second straight missed game for Chapman, who was forced to the injured list earlier this year with a hand injury. However, the 32-year-old veteran could be available off the bench on Friday night, which means he could very well return to the diamond for Game 2 of the series in the Bay Area on Saturday. Chapman remains excellent on defense, but he's been a bit of a disappointment offensively in his second year with SF, slashing .229/.337/.423 with 16 home runs, 44 RBI, 53 runs and seven stolen bases in 96 games.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) is dealing with soreness on his previously sprained hand and will get the day off on Wednesday to recover in the series finale against the division-rival San Diego Padres at Oracle Park. Casey Schmitt will make the start at third for the Gigantes and will bat third against Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta. Chapman missed over a month with his previous hand injury, so this is something to keep an eye on and could send him back to the injured list if it doesn't improve quickly. It's been a disappointing season offensively for Chapman, as he's hitting just .229/.337/.423 with 16 home runs, 44 RBI, 53 runs and seven steals in 345 at-bats. In the month of August, Chapman has gone just 6-for-37 (.162) with a double, two RBI, four runs scored and 11 strikeouts in 11 games played.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (elbow) is starting at third base and will hit cleanup for the Giants in Friday's series opener versus the visiting New York Mets and right-hander Clay Holmes at Oracle Park. Chapman avoided any fractures or serious damage after he was hit by a pitch on his left elbow in Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves, which has allowed him to return to action this weekend after an off day on Thursday. The 32-year-old former All-Star and five-time Gold Glove winner will try to break the Gigantes out of their current funk. He's been hot since the All-Star break, going 7-for-22 (.318) with two home runs and seven RBI to begin the second half of the season. Chapman also has three hits in 10 career at-bats versus Holmes. Get him back into your starting lineups. Chapman has hit .243 with 14 homers, 38 RBI and seven steals in his second season with SF.
