As the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres were set for a clash on June 2, 2025, anything Matt Chapman-related was bound to pique the curiosity of the fans, for he is their premier third baseman.
After undergoing a collision during a game that could have endangered his physical condition, the question arose as to whether or not the 31-year-old infielder would be able to show up for the all-important division clash tonight.
In a battle for division placement in the National League West, the presence of Chapman could sway the outcome. So, is he taking the field? Here's what we know about his state and potential availability for the game.
An incident for Matt Chapman's fitness
San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman was involved in a collision with Miami Marlins' Liam Hicks during the fifth inning of Sunday's game. Both were converging on the base path when the incident happened, resulting in a short pause in play. Chapman remained in the game after the collision, indicating that any injury was not immediately severe.
No official injury report filed
Any official report on Matt Chapman's injury by the San Francisco Giants has not yet come to light as of June 2, 2025.
He has not been put on any injury list; in addition, nothing has been announced about his availability for tonight's game against the San Diego Padres.
With his participation in recent games, Chapman would seem fit for play, but without an official statement, his status remains unconfirmed.
Anticipated role of Matt Chapman in tonight's game
The Giants are scheduled to play the Padres at 10:00 pm ET on Oracle Park. Since it is such a pivotal contributor to the lineup, and given that there isn't any official injury designation on Chapman, it is pretty much white-listed for the decision: he should be available for selection.

It is, however, important to point out that the final decision regarding player participation is usually made right before the game; hence, its fans are advised to keep looking out for the official lineup announcement.
To wrap this up, there is a good chance that despite Chapman's recent collision causing some concerns, all implications because of no official injury listing and his demonstrated physical involvement in games suggest his participation tonight. Nonetheless, that will be confirmed when the official lineup is out.

What Max Muncy and Freddie Freeman did to spark an extra-inning win for Los Angeles Dodgers
What Max Muncy and Freddie Freeman did to spark an extra-inning win for Los Angeles Dodgers (Image Source: Getty Images) Max Muncy and Freddie Freeman organized a wonderful comeback that allowed the Los Angeles Dodgers to win 6-5 against the New York Mets in extra innings. Max Muncy hit a ninth-inning homer to tie the score and Freddie Freeman won the game by hitting a walk-off double in extra innings. With their heroics, the Los Angeles Dodgers achieved their 20th comeback win of the season by overcoming a tough New York Mets squad. Because of their strong performance, both veterans reminded the crowd of 53,424 why they are important for the defending National League champions. Max Muncy's power lift lifts Los Angeles Dodgers rally Max Muncy started the game by hitting a two-run homer in the first, which helped the Los Angeles Dodgers take a strong 4-1 lead. But his most important impact occurred when the season was on the line in the ninth inning. Facing the possibility of defeat as the New York Mets took the lead 5-4, Max Muncy stepped up and hit a home run to tie the game and make the crowd cheer wildly. It was obvious from his game that he was the main contributor to the Los Angeles Dodgers' offence, as he hit two home runs in a game where they had just two hits the whole time between his shots. Max Muncy has proven his skill under pressure time and again, and Tuesday night's performance added to his renown with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Freddie Freeman's walk-off magic seals dramatic victory A slicing double by Freddie Freeman to deep left field decided the game and gave the Los Angeles Dodgers the win. With José Buttó deciding to walk Shohei Ohtani, Tommy Edman was moved to second, which made the first baseman's key hit possible. Brandon Nimmo of the New York Mets lost track of the ball, which fell on the warning track and allowed Freeman to reach third base. The New York Mets lost their streak of four consecutive wins because of this mental mistake. In this season's five meetings between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets, three were decided in extra innings, and the Los Angeles Dodgers now have a 2-3 record. The game series picks up again on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium, and SportsNet LA will show the game at 7:10 PM ET. Tony Gonsolin (3-1) with a 5.23 ERA will pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers against Griffin Canning (5-2) of the Mets.

Will Carlos Rodon play tonight against Cleveland Guardians? Latest update on New York Yankees star's injury report (June 4, 2025)
Image Source: Getty The New York Yankees will face the Cleveland Guardians at 7:05 PM ET and everyone wants to see if Carlos Rodón will be in the lineup. Rodón has done very well this season and the Yankees need him to succeed. Here is the current update about his injury. Carlos Rodón set to pitch against Guardians The New York Yankees have made a statement regarding Carlos Rodón and his pitching assignment: he will start against the Cleveland Guardians tonight at Yankee Stadium. This southpaw has carried his team this year with a fine 7-3 record while holding down a 2.60 ERA. Rodón has been phenomenal over the last eight starts, shutting down opposing teams and surrendering only a run in 3 games, putting together an even more glistening ERA of 1.27 during that time. One of Rodón's best attributes is strikeouts, and he's high in whiff percentage, which essentially makes him impenetrable. He's faced Cleveland quite a number of times, winning 9, dropping 5, with a 2.66 ERA in those 22 games. Reports suggested that he is fit and ready to pitch. Fans can look forward to Rodón delivering a solid game, aiming to help the Yankees win at home. This news is exciting for Yankees fans, who see Rodón as a key player in their strong 36-22 season. His matchup against Cleveland's pitcher Tanner Bibee should be a fun battle. Rodón's recent performance, like his seven scoreless innings against the Angels, shows he's in great form. The Yankees count on him to keep Cleveland's hitters under control. Also Read: Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani eyes third consecutive MVP award with red-hot performance in MLB Yankees' pitching stays strong despite injuries The Yankees' pitching team has had some problems this year, with injuries to big names like Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil. Cole is out all season after elbow surgery, and Gil is sidelined until summer with a back injury. Even with those problems Rodón has been a steady pitcher working well with Max Fried. Last year, he pitched 32 games with a 3.96 ERA, showing he's back to form after a tough 2023. This year, he's striking out 11 per 9 like he did in his All-Star years of 2021 and 2022. The Yankees' hitters are 2nd in power so the pitchers benefit. Tonight's game against Cleveland, who are 32-26, is big. Rodón's start is key, and the Yankees' hitters are ready to back him up. Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s return from injury makes the Yankees' lineup even stronger, helping Rodón. The team's 18-9 record at home gives them a boost. Rodón has done well against Cleveland's star José Ramírez, keeping him to a .220 batting average. As the Yankees aim for the playoffs, Rodón's health and pitching are super important.

'Young and dumb': Jason Whitlock calls Stefon Diggs & Cardi B a ghetto version of Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce
(Image via Getty: Stefon Diggs with Cardi B) Jason Whitlock, a celebrated columnist, has decorated the pages of The Kansas City Star, ESPN, AOL Sports, and FOX Sports for the longest time. Now, he sits and hosts Blaze Media's podcast show called Fearless with Jason Whitlock. What's bewildering is that his opinions are as decorating as his writings used to be. Guess a journalist never stops being one, even if they switch from writing to podcasting! Anyway. This time around, Whitlock's wide-angle focus is on the newest wide receiver for the New England Patriots, Stefon Diggs. Oh, not just him. But his newest Instagram-official girlfriend too! Cardi B . Let's check out what Jason Whitlock discussed with another former Patriots WR T.J. Moe, and Fearless with Jason Whitlock's Contributor, Steve Kim. What is Stefon Diggs doing with Cardi B? - Jason Whitlock asked a multi-million dollar question (Image via Getty: Stefon Diggs with Cardi B) On June 3, former Sports Columnist at The Kansas City Star, FOX Sports, AOL Sports, and ESPN, who currently hosts Fearless with Jason Whitlock podcast show, said, 'Finally, Steve, I don't know if this is your area of expertise. But Stefon Diggs and Cardi B - looks like they are hanging out in a strip club. Don't we have him at the strip club with Cardi B, smacking her back on the rear end? - T.J. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo close your eyes. I'm telling you, Stefon Diggs is a multi-millionaire, NFL star athlete, and great. What's he doing here with Cardi B? Part of me is talking out loud. I'm acting like I'm perplexed, and I've never done the exact same thing as Stefon Diggs and I have. So, he's just young and dumb. And this is what young and dumb people do.' Stefon Diggs is not into chasing being a great football player anymore Whitlock continued, 'But he(Stefon Diggs) doesn't care about football at this point. I don't think at all - between the yacht parties, and skipping OTAs, and looking like he's passing out drugs to young girls. He's into all what football can do to/for him. He's not into chasing being a great football player anymore.' Stefon Diggs and Cardi B is the malt liquor of celebrity couples (Image via Cardi B IG) Jason Whitlock shared, 'The report is saying the (New England)Patriots are not going to drop Stefon Diggs. But I think they actually should. This is the ghetto version of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift . This is the malt liquor of celebrity couples. And at some point, someone will probably play the race card- you know, you celebrate Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. But that's what this is. It's just a ghetto version of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.' Steve Kim, Regular Guest and Contributor to Fearless with Jason Whitlock podcast show, said, 'I don't find those two to be nearly as annoying as Travis Kelce and (Taylor)Swift. I'll just leave it at that.' Travis Kelce performed well even with the distraction called Taylor Swift (Image via Getty: Taylor Swift with Travis Kelce) Taylor Jacob Moe(T.J. Moe), a former wide receiver for the New England Patriots who co-hosts Fearless with Jason Whitlock, said, 'They(Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift) are pretty annoying. Call it a tie. I would just say this. There's a difference. Travis has been on the downhill, but he's really showed up in the playoffs and when they needed him. Particularly two years ago. And was really good even with the distraction. ' Why is Stefon Diggs suddenly a necessity for the New England Patriots? (Image via Getty: Stefon Diggs) T.J. Moe continued, 'Stefon Diggs was the No. 2 receiver on his own team last year and is coming off a torn ACL. Why is he suddenly a necessity for the Patriots? I just don't think he's good anymore. I think he was already beginning to get washed up. He doesn't care about football and he's coming off an ACL. So, if you wanna go and be a distraction, go be a distraction.' 'NFL is doing everything they can to promote it,' says T.J. Moe about Stefon Diggs and Cardi B's newfound love 'If you're going to be Travis Kelce in the playoffs, maybe you can put up a Taylor Swift. Particularly if the NFL is doing everything they can to promote it and get new eyeballs,' Moe concluded. Whitlock went on to say, 'Maybe they will promote Stefon Diggs and Cardi B. Robert Kraft certainly would, and the NFL seems to love the degeneracy, so they are right on the brand show.'
