Evan Webeck of The California Post wrote:<\/a> \u201cTony Vitello says there\u2019s a chance Matt Chapman doesn\u2019t play again this season. He\u2019s going to see a specialist in Philly about his abdominal strain. Surgery hasn\u2019t been ruled out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before getting hurt, Chapman had been batting .235 with 72 hits, seven home runs, 42 RBIs and 35 runs in 84 games.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what people were saying:<\/p>\n

@FAorthopod:<\/a> \u201cTime to shut down Chapman.\u201d<\/p>\n

@ProgDan49:<\/a> \u201cJust shut him down regardless. No point in playing him any more this season.\u201d<\/p>\n

@C2Cbsbl:<\/a> \u201cI really don\u2019t think we will be seeing Matt Chapman again this season I\u2019m not too mad about that tbh, hopefully he\u2019s ok, but I\u2019d much rather watch other guys take those at bats for the last 2 months\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sounds like a real possibility we might not see [Matt Chapman] the rest of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Jeff Passan wrote (on September 5, 2024):<\/a> \u201cThird baseman Matt Chapman and the San Francisco Giants<\/a> are in agreement on a six-year, $151 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. It wipes out the final two years of his current deal and keeps Chapman from opting out.\u201d<\/p>\n
