San Francisco Giants catcher Daniel Susac suffered a patella fracture after injuring his knee during a game against the Detroit Tigers on August 9, 2026. Initially thought to be a contusion, an MRI revealed the fracture. This injury leaves the Giants with only one healthy catcher, Drew Cavanaugh, on their roster. The situation worsened with the announcement that third baseman Matt Chapman is undergoing season-ending surgery for a core-muscle injury.
