DENVER (AP) — San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained right hand after a weekend injury against Atlanta.
The move is retroactive to Monday. The Giants said Chapman would be examined by Dr. Steven Shin in Los Angeles on Friday. The club could then provide an update on when he might be ready to return.
Chapman hurt his hand in the eighth inning Sunday when he dived back to first base on a pickoff attempt.
