Matt Chapman is back on the injured list, as the Giants third baseman appears to be dealing with renewed soreness in the right hand he injured in June.
San Francisco placed Chapman on the 10-day IL and reliever Ryan Walker on the paternity list. Landen Roupp — who will start Friday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays — was reinstated from the IL, while right-hander Keaton Winn was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento for the first time this season.
Chapman initially suffered a right hand sprain while diving into first base on June 8; he spent almost a month on the IL rehabbing the injury.
The five-time Gold Glove winner has struggled mightily at the plate as of late, which could be the result of this lingering hand issue. Chapman has hit just 6-for-45 in August with a measly .478 OPS amid the Giants’ team-wide struggles this month.
Roupp was put on the IL on July 25 with right elbow inflammation after recording a 3.11 ERA in 20 starts so far this season. The 26-year-old allowed two runs in three innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
Winn made 21 appearances with San Francisco in 2023 and 2024, recording a combined 6.08 ERA.
