"Chapman had faced a suspension and an undisclosed fine after he made contact with Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland. Chapman, Freeland and Giants shortstop Willy Adames were ejected following the first-inning fracas during San Francisco's 7-4 win at Coors Field, then Chapman led the Giants past the Rockies 10-8 a night later - playing the game as the appeal was considered."
"Tempers flared after Devers hit a two-run homer in the first inning and admired it before beginning his slow trot. "Look, we didn't feel like we started it. It is what it is, deal with it going forward. We'll see what happens in the appeal. The other ones were fines," Giants manager Bob Melvin said the next day. "You knew something was going to happen. We were hoping there weren't suspensions. Ended up being one, and it's on appeal, so see where that goes.""
Major League Baseball rescinded Matt Chapman's one-game suspension and replaced it with a fine for his role in a benches-clearing incident in Colorado on Sept. 2. The announcement came ahead of the Giants' opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chapman had faced a suspension and an undisclosed fine after making contact with Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland. Chapman, Freeland and Giants shortstop Willy Adames were ejected after a first-inning fracas during San Francisco's 7-4 win at Coors Field; Chapman played the next night while the suspension was appealed. Freeland, Adames and Rafael Devers also received fines. The incident followed a two-run homer by Devers that prompted objections and players charging the infield, and MLB said Chapman was disciplined for pushing Freeland.
