The likelihood of Matt Chapman taking another swing in 2026 just took a huge blow. Following a month-plus stint on the injured list, the San Francisco Giants third baseman received brutal news. He has a hernia and a core muscle tear, which will probably require surgery, per the SF Chronicle's Susan Slusser. A $151 million contract also creates a major obstacle (more than $100 million remaining on deal across the next four seasons). All the Giants (48-67) and their fans can ask for now is a healthy and revitalized Matt Chapman in 2027.
