Giants third baseman Matt Chapman to have season-ending surgery for core muscle injury
San Francisco Giants' third baseman Matt Chapman is set to undergo surgery on Tuesday to address an abdominal strain, marking the end of his season. The injury was diagnosed by Dr. William C. Meyers during a visit to Philadelphia on Monday. Chapman, a five-time Gold Glove winner, will undergo the procedure in Philadelphia and is expected to return shortly after the surgery.
Currently, he is in Philadelphia for the operation. Manager Tony Vitello expressed confidence that the surgery will be completed as quickly as possible while Chapman is in Philadelphia. The 33-year-old signed a six-year, $151 million contract with the Giants in September 2024. Meanwhile, catcher Daniel Susac also suffered an injury during the team's game against Detroit on Sunday.
Susac, a 25-year-old Rule 5 Draft pick, fractured his left kneecap after fouling a ball off his knee. He is currently being assessed by team doctors to determine the next steps in his recovery.
