San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman, 33, is set to undergo season-ending surgery for a hernia and core muscle tear, following a consultation with specialist Dr. William Meyers. Chapman has been on the injured list since July 1 due to an abdominal strain and has struggled with the injury throughout the season, finishing with a .235 average in 84 games. With Chapman and Casey Schmitt both sidelined, Christian Koss is currently filling in at third base, while Marcelo Mayer, who is recovering from an injury, may also be considered for the position. The Giants are 49-67, languishing in fourth place in the NL West.
