"MLB has issued a one-game suspension to Giants third baseman Matt Chapman for "pushing" Kyle Freeland during last night's game. Chapman and Freeland were each handed undisclosed fines, as were Willy Adames and Rafael Devers. Chapman appealed the suspension and is in the lineup tonight at third base against Germán Márquez."
"Chapman was one of the first players out of the San Francisco dugout and appeared to shove Freeland when he got to the mound. Adames, who was on deck for the Devers homer, was also in the mix. He and Freeland each swiped at one another and exchanged words, though the situation remained relatively innocuous. The benches and bullpens emptied, but it never really escalated into a brawl. Chapman, Adames and Freeland were all thrown out of the game."
MLB issued a one-game suspension to Giants third baseman Matt Chapman for pushing Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland during a bench-clearing incident, and fined Chapman, Freeland, Willy Adames and Rafael Devers. Chapman appealed the suspension and was listed in the lineup at third base the following night. The incident began after Devers hit a high home run off Freeland and took extra time admiring the shot, prompting a shouting match and benches emptying. Chapman appeared to shove Freeland at the mound, Adames and Freeland exchanged swipes and words, and three players were ejected. If upheld, the Giants would play a game short, likely inserting Christian Koss and shifting Casey Schmitt to third.
