• Giants' Matt Chapman: Move to paternity list official

  09/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Giants officially placed Chapman (personal) on the paternity list Wednesday. Chapman left the team prior to Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Orioles to observe the birth of his child, but the Giants waited until Wednesday before officially deactivating him. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to provide some infield depth in the short term. Per MLB rules, Chapman will be away from the Giants for at least one game and as many as three while on the paternity list, so expected him to rejoin the club no later than Saturday.
