The San Francisco Giants are shorthanded.

The Giants will be without Gold Glove third baseman Matt Chapman for their six-game National League West trip against the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers that begins tonight in Denver. Chapman, the Giants' best position player, was placed on the 10-day injured list with right hand inflammation, the team announced Tuesday morning.

Giants infielder Matt Chapman is headed to the injured list due to a hand injury. Chapman got hurt in a game against the Atlanta Braves.

The San Francisco Giants have won their last five games, allowing them to jump back into the National League Wild Card race. The Giants' series sweep of the Atlanta Braves capped off their seventh consecutive one-run game they've endured through their homestand. As reported by Josh Dubow of the Associated Press on X, it also marked the first time in 27 years that San Francisco had won five straight games by exactly one run. The Giants' last seven games have been tense, yet they are making progress toward becoming World Series contenders with their ability to close out games.

The 32-year-old Chapman is batting .243 with 12 home runs and 30 RBIs in 65 games during his second season with the Giants, who last September received a six-year, $151 million contract through 2030.

A federal judge ordered the Trump Administration on June 5 to restore millions of dollars in AmeriCorps funding and volunteer workers to dozens of states across the country. Along the Central Coast, an AmeriCorps-funded baseball league had already found a plan to keep their little league program alive. When the Trump Administration announced nearly $400 million dollars in cuts to AmeriCorps-funded programs, the league was unsure how it would continue. The fund is the official 501 (c) (3) non-profit of the San Francisco Giants.

The Los Angeles Angeles added LaMonte Wade to their major league roster after trading for him with the San Francisco Giants.

Los Angeles filled it by having LaMonte Wade Jr. join the team's active Major League Baseball roster. The Angels traded for Wade Jr. and cash with the San Francisco Giants in exchange for a future player. Wade will play behind Nolan Schanuel at first base with Mike Trout continuing to serve as the team's designated hitter.

The San Francisco Giants swept the Atlanta Braves this weekend to extend their winning streak to five games. All three victories were by one score, including a 10th-inning walk-off via a wild pitch on Friday and a two-run Matt Chapman walk-off home run on Saturday. At 38-28 after the sweep, the Giants have been one of the more balanced teams in the MLB this season with an elite pitching staff complemented by a top-heavy lineup that does just enough to support the team. Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter put out his most recent power rankings this week, setting up all 30 MLB teams from 1 to 30 based on recent success.

The San Francisco Giants need a new answer at first base, for now, and should be monitoring the trade market as the deadline continues to get closer. One potential answer could be revealing himself as the Arizona Diamondbacks steer towards becoming sellers. The Diamondbacks are already six games out of a Wild Card spot and have virtually no chance in the NL West, not to mention the fact that they just lost their $210 million ace for the year in Corbin Burnes. The Giants should approach Arizona with an offer of right-handed pitcher Trevor McDonald and infielder Robert Hipwell for first baseman Josh Naylor.

Doval's already tenuous walk rate ballooned, he served a three-week stint at Triple-A, and surprising RHP Ryan Walker took over closing duties.

Dominic Smith could only laugh at what he was seeing. It was May 2024, and Smith had just signed with the Boston Red Sox when he met with hitting coach Peter Fatse to review film. Fatse didn't believe Smith was maximizing his athleticism in the batter's box, so he combed through Smith's old footage to find examples of Smith doing so. Fatse didn't show Smith videos from 2020, the year that Smith earned MVP votes.

The San Fransisco Giants have surprised some people this season by staying involved in the playoff picture despite low expectations nationally, however they have some major issues that must be addressed. Pitching for the Giants has actually been fairly impressive based on the fact that many forecasted it as an issue. Instead, it's been the offense which has been the fatal flaw for San Francisco, especially as of late. In fact, in the last 30 days, the Giants have scored just 86 runs, tied for 25th in Major League Baseball.

The San Francisco Giants surprised a lot of people with the hot start they got off to in the 2025 MLB regular season. Doubters were proven somewhat correct in May, with the Giants following their 19-10 start with a tough 13-16 stretch through the end of the month. San Francisco is riding a five-game winning streak, coming off a sweep of the Atlanta Braves, which followed taking the last two games of a four-game set against their National League West rivals, the San Diego Padres.
