GiantsCasey Schmitt Undergoes Left-Wrist Surgery, Given 8–10 Week Timeline

The club still views him as its leading second-base option despite evaluating outside additions this offseason.

Overview

  • The Giants said Tuesday they removed a carpal boss from his left wrist and projected an eight to ten week recovery.
  • The operation was performed by Dr. Steven Shin in Los Angeles, and he is expected to be near ready when camp opens in February.
  • He was hit on the wrist by a 95 mph pitch on June 25, went on the 10-day IL, and hit .220 with eight homers after returning.
  • He currently tops the second-base depth chart, with Tyler Fitzgerald and Christian Koss as fill-in candidates if needed.
  • San Francisco is evaluating outside options after weak 2025 production at second, with names linked including Ha-Seong Kim, Jorge Polanco, Brandon Lowe, Nico Hoerner and Brendan Donovan.
