Matt Chapman said he’ll be rehabbing for 8-10 weeks following Tuesday’s season-ending core muscle surgery.

Chapman said he originally tore muscle off the bone in two places back in April and played through it for months before going on the IL at the beginning of July. He hit .235/.324/.368 in 84 games before being shut down.

Giants transferred INF Matt Chapman to the 60-day injured list.

This was merely a procedural move at this stage, as it had already been announced that Chapman will undergo season-ending abdominal surgery on Tuesday. Turner Hill had his contract selected from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday to take his place on the club’s 40-man roster.

Matt Chapman will undergo season-ending abdominal surgery on Tuesday.

As expected, Chapman’s season is officially over. The 33-year-old has been out due to a lingering abdominal issue since early July and wound up requiring surgery to address the issue. He’s expected to be a full-go for the start of spring training.

Matt Chapman is expected to undergo season-ending surgery on Tuesday to repair a hernia and a core muscle tear.

So that explains why Chapman continued to feel lingering soreness and wasn’t progressing as expected in his recovery from an abdominal strain. He should be fully recovered and ready to go for the start of spring training in 2027.

Giants manager Tony Vitello told reporters there’s a chance Matt Chapman (abdomen) doesn’t return this season.

Chapman will visit a specialist for additional evaluation to determine whether he’ll require surgery. The 33-year-old veteran third baseman has been on the shelf with an abdominal strain since early July and simply hasn’t progressed as they expected. There should be a definitive update on his status at some point later this week.

Matt Chapman is still struggling to run while dealing with his abdominal strain and will meet with Giants doctors on Sunday.

Chapman was supposed to miss the minimum 10 days after going on the injured list a month ago, but he obviously hasn’t progressed as hoped. Christian Koss will continue to fill in at third for now.

Matt Chapman (abdomen) began swinging a bat on Friday for the first time since landing on the injured list on July 1 with an abdominal strain.

Giants’ manager Tony Vitello told reporters on Friday that Chapman won’t be ready to return at any point during the team’s current road trip, but could be ready at the start of their next homestand which begins on July 24. Casey Schmitt will continue to man the hot corner in Chapman’s absence.

Giants placed 3B Matt Chapman on the 10-day injured list with an abdominal strain.

Chapman receives some time off to rest and recover after playing through an abdominal issue since April. The 33-year-old defensive stalwart has hit .235/.324/.368 with seven homers and 42 RBI across 352 plate appearances through 84 games. He figures to be on the move to a contender ahead of next month’s trade deadline.

Matt Chapman said he left Tuesday’s game with an abdominal strain that’s been bothering him since April.

Chapman has been able to tolerate the strain, but he aggravated the injury in the sixth inning against the D-backs and was forced to depart. If he needs to go on the IL, the Giants will likely stick Casey Schmitt at third base and give more outfield time to Victor Bericoto and Drew Gilbert.
