Giants third baseman Matt Chapman to miss season after abdominal surgery

San Francisco announced that third baseman Matt Chapman sustained an abdominal strain in the sixth inning of an 8-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on June 30. A specialist in Philadelphia examined him on August 10 and confirmed the core injury, leading to a planned surgery on Tuesday that will end his 2026 campaign. The 33-year-old, who is under a six-year, $151 million extension, posted a.235 average with seven homers and 42 RBIs in 84 games before the injury.

Chapman now joins Harrison Bader, Casey Schmitt and Trevor McDonald as Giants players whose seasons have been halted by injury. Additional roster updates include Daniel Susac's knee fracture, Matt Gage's elbow strain, Marcelo Mayer's bone stress reaction, Joel Peguero's hamstring strain and Jesús Rodriguez's elbow neuritis.
