Overview

  • The Giants placed Casey Schmitt on the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 27 after he suffered left hand inflammation when struck by a pitch.
  • Tyler Fitzgerald was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to fill Schmitt’s roster spot and provide infield depth.
  • Christian Koss will continue as the starting third baseman during Schmitt’s absence.
  • Manager Bob Melvin said Schmitt could return after the minimum IL period if his recovery remains on schedule.
  • Matt Chapman took live batting practice and Jerar Encarnacion began his throwing program as both aim for a pre–All-Star break comeback.
