The San Francisco Giants activated third baseman Matt Chapman from the 10-day injured list prior to Saturday night’s contest against the host Athletics.

Chapman is batting fourth while playing in his customary defensive spot at the hot corner.

Chapman was sidelined with a right hand injury sustained in a game against the Atlanta Braves on June 8. He jammed the hand while diving back to first base in the bottom of the eighth inning and immediately displayed he was in pain.

Chapman, 32, played in a rehab game for Triple-A Sacramento on Friday night in Reno, Nev., and went 0-for-3 with a walk.

San Francisco was just 9-14 without Chapman and has lost eight of its past 11 entering Saturday’s contest in West Sacramento, Calif.

The five-time Gold Glove Award winner is batting .243 with 12 homers and 30 RBIs in 65 games this season. He is in his second season with the Giants.

The Giants also designated infielder Sergio Alcantara for assignment, optioned right-hander Mason Black to Sacramento and recalled righty Tristan Beck from the River Cats.

Alcantara, 28, was hitless in four at-bats in his lone game for the Giants, which was his first big league appearance since 2022 for the San Diego Padres. He has a .207 career average in 193 games over four seasons with five teams.

Black, 25, allowed five runs (three earned) and five hits over four innings in Saturday’s 11-2 loss to the A’s in his first big league appearance of the season. He is 1-5 with a 6.47 ERA in 10 appearances (eight starts) over the past two seasons with San Francisco.

Beck, 29, was 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA in six relief appearances with the Giants earlier this season. He is 4-3 with a 3.66 ERA in 46 appearances (four starts) over three seasons with San Francisco.
