US EditionGiants place infielder Casey Schmitt on the 10-day IL because of left hand inflammation
- On Monday, the San Francisco Giants announced that infielder Casey Schmitt was moved to the 10-day injured list due to inflammation in his left hand, an injury he suffered on June 25 during a game against the Miami Marlins.
- Schmitt’s injury occurred when he was hit by a 95.2 mph sinker from Calvin Faucher during his final at-bat, and the MRI came back clean on Monday.
- Schmitt, who had been hitting.276 with four home runs and 15 RBIs in 34 games, has been Matt Chapman’s primary replacement at third base, while Tyler Fitzgerald was optioned to Triple-A.
- Giants manager Bob Melvin indicated that Schmitt might return from the injured list as soon as possible, and in the meantime, Christian Koss is expected to handle the majority of the playing time at third base during Schmitt’s absence.
- The injury timing is unfortunate given Schmitt’s strong play, but the Giants hope Chapman will return during their six-game home stand before the All-Star break.
