Infielder Christian Koss was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento as the corresponding move.

Chapman sustained the injury in the bottom of the eighth inning of San Francisco's win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday at Oracle Park, as he dove head-first back to first base on a pick-off attempt.

Chapman remained in the game and received an X-ray afterward that came back clean.
