PHOENIX —San Francisco<\/a>third baseman Matt Chapman<\/a> left the Giants’ 8-2 loss<\/a> to the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> on Tuesday night because of an abdominal strain that he suffered in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n

The five-time Gold Glove winner is scheduled for an MRI on Wednesday to determine the severity of the injury.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old Chapman charged in on a ground ball, fielded it cleanly with his bare hand and threw out Gabriel Moreno<\/a> at first to end the sixth, but was in obvious pain as he gingerly walked to the dugout.<\/p>\n

Chapman said his abdominal area had been bothering him some over the past several weeks, but the pain had been manageable until Tuesday’s incident.<\/p>\n

“It’s been hot and cold where I’m trying to figure out what’s going on,” Chapman said. “I made that bare-handed play and that was the first time that one specific play made me cringe and go down a little bit, where I was actually in a lot of pain.”<\/p>\n

He batted in the seventh and was retired on an infield pop out before leaving the game.<\/p>\n

Chapman is batting .235 this season with seven homers and 42 RBIs.<\/p>\n
