"We ended up not having to do the full hearing, Chapman said. They just offered a settlement. We took it and felt like it was a fair deal and move on. Chapman had a condensed hearing on Thursday to appeal a one-game suspension he received on Sept. 3, a day after the incident. On Friday, Major League Baseball downgraded Chapman's punishment to an undisclosed find, which was also part of the original punishment."
"Chapman effectively missed the entirety of the Giants' win on Sept. 2 win over the Rockies at Coors Field after shoving Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland. Freeland took exception to Rafael Devers' admiration of his first-inning home run, igniting the benches-clearing episode. Following the incident, Chapman was ejected from the game along with Freeland and Willy Adames. Chapman, however, was the only player who was suspended (Adames, Devers and Freeland received fines)."
Matt Chapman will not serve a suspension after appealing a one-game ban; the punishment was downgraded to an undisclosed fine as part of a settlement. Chapman accepted a condensed hearing outcome and avoided a full hearing. The incident began when Chapman shoved Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland after Freeland objected to Rafael Devers' reaction to a first-inning home run, prompting benches to clear. Chapman was ejected and missed the game; Willy Adames, Rafael Devers and Kyle Freeland received fines but no suspensions. The team viewed equal treatment as a factor in the resolution.
