San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman's season has come to an end. The 33-year-old star will undergo surgery for an abdominal muscle tear, an injury that requires him to be sidelined for the remainder of the year.

Chapman traveled to Philadelphia to consult with Dr. William C. Meyers, who diagnosed the core muscle damage. He is expected to remain in the city for the procedure. Giants manager Tony Vitello confirmed the situation before a recent game, stating that all details had been finalized with Dr. Meyers and the surgery would be performed promptly.

This season, Chapman played in 84 games, achieving a .235 batting average, .324 on-base percentage, and .368 slugging percentage. He hit 7 home runs and drove in 42 runs. His wRC+ of 95 was below the league average, marking the first time in his 10-year MLB career that he has performed below that mark.

All things have been confirmed with Dr. Meyers, and I am very sure that they will take care of this thing there as soon as possible.
