The San Francisco Giants confirmed that third baseman Matt Chapman will undergo season-ending surgery due to a hernia and core muscle tear. Chapman, who has not played since June 30, was expected to return but will now seek surgical treatment in Philadelphia. His injury adds to the Giants' struggles this season, as they currently hold a disappointing 49-69 record. The team has made multiple trades, dealing several players at the deadline, including fan-favorite Luis Arraez. With Chapman and utility infielder Casey Schmitt both out for the season, the Giants will likely rely on Christian Koss at third base and may consider promoting Parks Harber from Triple-A.
