Matt Chapman Activated Saturday
Giants' third baseman was on the 60-day injured list with a fractured thumb.
The San Francisco Giants will activate third baseman Matt Chapman from the 60-day injured list on Saturday, the team announced. Chapman has been out since May 18 with a fractured thumb, but he has been hitting and fielding in games at the team's minor league facility in Arizona.
Chapman is a key part of the Giants' infield, and his return will be a boost to the team's defense and offense. Chapman is a three-time Gold Glove winner, and he has also been a productive hitter throughout his career, averaging 25 home runs and 90 RBIs per 162 games.
The Giants are currently in second place in the NL West, and they are hoping to make a run at the playoffs. Chapman's return will give them a much better chance of doing so.
Chapman is expected to start at third base on Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Giants are hoping that Chapman can help them turn around their season. The team has struggled since the All-Star break, going 17-29. Chapman is a key piece of the puzzle, and the Giants are hoping that he can help them get back on track.
