LOS ANGELES (AP) — San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman can begin rehabbing his sprained right hand in a week.
He visited Dr. Steven Shin in Los Angeles on Friday and was told he has to wear his splint until then, the team announced. The Giants were in town to open a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
Chapman got hurt sliding into first base against Atlanta last Sunday. He went on the injured list two days later and is eligible to return on June 20. The 32-year-old infielder indicated he could be on a faster track.
“He’s always going to be optimistic if you talk to him, so you got to temper that a little bit,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said, “but the news we got from Dr. Shin was good news. He’s very pleased with how it’s recovering.”
Melvin added that until Chapman starts rehabbing, it's tough to forecast a return date.
Chapman was batting .243 with 12 home runs, 30 RBIs and seven stolen bases. The five-time Gold Glove winner signed a $151 million, six-year deal last year.

LONDON (AP) — Kate, the Princess of Wales, was scheduled to return to Wimbledon on Sunday along with her husband Prince William and their daughter Charlotte to watch the men's final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
Kate is the patron of the All England Club and was scheduled to present the trophies after the match.
On Saturday, she was the only member of her family in the Royal Box for the women's final and gave champion Iga Swiatek her prize after a 6-0, 6-0 victory and offered consoling words to runner-up Amanda Anisimova.
On Sunday they were set to be joined by King Felipe VI of Spain, a number of former Wimbledon champions and a slew of Hollywood celebrities.
Actors Keira Knightley, Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman and John Lithgow were all set to be seated in the Royal Box, as was London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
Last year, while recovering from cancer, Kate did not attend the women's final but was on hand for Alcaraz's win against Novak Djokovic at the All England Club.
She has been gradually returning to public duties and recently welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron during a state visit to Britain.
