Matt Chapman has been out since June 30 with an injury.
He had been expected to return against the Padres.
That said, news has now come out that Chapman will miss the remainder of the series.
Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area wrote: “Matt Chapman will get reevaluated by the medical staff, he still feels discomfort with abdominal strain when he runs. Giants had originally hoped to get him back this weekend.”
Before getting hurt, Chapman had been batting .235 with 72 hits, seven home runs, 42 RBIs and 35 runs in 84 games.
Here’s what other people were saying:
Susan Slusser of San Francisco Chronicle: “Matt Chapman confirms what I reported last night, that running still is not comfortable for him. He will see a team doctor today to see what’s next but he doesn’t feel as if he’s back to square one, just needs to figure out how to get over this hurdle.”
Evan Webeck of California Post: “Matt Chapman, who was supposed to be ready by the All-Star break, and then again supposed to be activated this series, is still not ready. He’s meeting with team doctors tomorrow to reassess. He’s able to swing and play defense but is still having trouble running the bases.”
