Giants' Matt Chapman: Appealing one-game suspension
Rotowire
Chapman received a one-game suspension from Major League Baseball on Wednesday for pushing Kyle Freeland during Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Chapman is appealing the suspension.
The third baseman was ejected from Tuesday's contest for his role in the benches-clearing brawl that took place in the first inning, and he'll now also receive a suspension on top of that. Chapman will be available to play until a verdict is reached on his appeal.
Chapman (shin/foot) will start at third base and bat fifth Monday in Colorado, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Chapman fouled a ball off his foot/shin during Sunday's 13-2 win over the Orioles and exited the game early, but he expressed optimism that he wouldn't miss further time. As anticipated, Chapman will check back into the lineup as the Giants kick off a three-game series in Coors Field.

Giants' Matt Chapman: Doesn't expect to miss time
Rotowire
Chapman left Sunday's win over the Orioles early after fouling a ball off his left shin/foot, but he's "fine" and expects to be in the starting lineup Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
San Francisco was ahead 8-0 in the sixth inning at the time of Chapman's removal, and he was able to complete his plate appearance before being pulled, so it appears the third baseman's exit was precautionary. Nonetheless, fantasy managers who roster Chapman may be best served by keeping an eye on the Giants' lineup Monday to make sure the team does indeed give him the go-ahead to play.

Giants' Matt Chapman: Exits early with possible injury
Rotowire
Chapman was pulled from Sunday's game against Baltimore after fouling a ball off his left shin/foot, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Chapman was in clear pain after the foul ball, but he remained in the game and worked a walk. However, he was subsequently replaced at first base by Casey Schmitt. The Giants were up 8-0 in the sixth inning at the time Chapman departed, so it's possible his removal was simply precautionary. San Francisco may provide an update on the veteran third baseman after he gets looked at.
