The Giants haven’t provided an official timeline on Chapman’s return, but Chapman estimated he will be ready to return in three to four weeks. Casey Schmitt is replacing Chapman at third base for the time being.

Chapman is unlikely to return by June 20, which is when he is first eligible to come off the IL, but fans may not have to wait too much longer beyond that date to see him back in action.

The moment came quickly Friday night. And it propelled the Giants into a share of first place in the NL West.

Ohtani is one of the most skilled batters in the league, ranking third in the MLB in home runs (23) and second in OPS (1.008), but is 23rd in batting average (.290).
