The Giants received some bad news on Matt Chapman before their series finale against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday at Coors Field.
San Francisco’s third baseman has been suspended one game and fined an undisclosed amount for his role in Tuesday night’s first-inning scuffle, MLB announced Wednesday afternoon, noting Chapman’s punishment comes as a result of “pushing” Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland.
Additionally, Willy Adames, Rafael Devers and Freeland all have been issued fines for their “inappropriate actions” during the incident, MLB added.
Chapman, Adames and Freeland all were ejected in the first inning of the Giants’ 7-4 win over the Rockies on Tuesday for their part in an on-field incident following a booming Devers home run. Freeland took issue with how long Devers took to get to first base, and chaos ensued.
Chapman’s suspension was scheduled to begin Wednesday, but per MLB, the Giants infielder has elected to appeal the decision and will not be disciplined until that process is complete.
