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.
