San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman leaves a loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks after an abdominal strain sustained during the sixth inning. Multiple reports say Chapman was visibly in pain after playing through the injury for a short time, including taking his next at-bat in the top of the seventh, before leaving the game. Chapman has indicated the abdominal area had been bothering him for several weeks, with symptoms described as manageable until the Tuesday incident. The team places Chapman on the 10-day injured list, and he is scheduled for an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. With Chapman out, the Giants adjust their infield alignment for the coming games. The Athletic reports that Casey Schmitt is set to pivot to third base, his best defensive position, while other coverage notes that the club calls up a replacement utility player to cover infield needs. Chapman, a five-time Gold Glove winner, is expected to miss at least the minimum IL period as the MRI results guide any further timetable.
