Casey Schmitt - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Undergoes surgery Schmitt underwent a debridement of his lateral meniscus Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The Giants said that Schmitt could be ready to return in roughly 6-to-8 weeks, but with San Francisco sitting at 47-62 -- well out of contention for a playoff spot -- the team likely won't be in any rush to bring him back and could opt to keep him out until 2027. Either way, he's expected to have a normal offseason and will be ready for the start of spring training.

Likely done for season Giants manager Tony Vitello said Wednesday that Schmitt will require surgery for the torn meniscus in his left knee and will "more than likely" miss the rest of the season, Tristi...

Impact Vitello said a date hasn't been set for when Schmitt will have surgery, though the 27-year-old is slated to have his procedure performed "as soon as possible." A formal recovery timeline for Schmitt should be provided when the operation is completed, as it's not yet known whether he'll require a meniscectomy or a full meniscus repair. Schmitt would likely face a 3-to-6-week recovery if he requires the former procedure, while a full repair often entails a 4-to-6-month timeline. In any case, the 45-62 Giants are well out of the mix for a playoff spot, so Schmitt doesn't look like he'll be rushed back into action even if he gets a meniscectomy and hits no snags in the rehab process. Schmitt had been in the midst of a breakout campaign before suffering the knee injury, slashing .271/.301/.483 with 21 home runs, nine stolen bases, 55 RBI and 47 runs across 409 plate appearances while making starts at all four infield spots in addition to left field.

Exits with lower-body injury Schmitt left Monday's game against the Brewers due to an apparent lower-body injury, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Schmitt looped a single into right field in the bottom of the second inning, but he looked to twist either his left knee or left ankle while putting on the brakes around first base. Christian Koss entered the game to pinch run for Schmitt, who wasn't able to put much weight on his left leg on his way off the diamond. The club should have another update on Schmitt's injury after sending him for further evaluation.

Impact Schmitt homered for the second game in a row and for the fifth time across 18 contests in July. He's batting just .230 (17-for-74) this month, but he's supplied 11 RBI. Schmitt also has a share of the Giants' lead for homers with 21, and he's batting .272 with a .792 OPS, 54 RBI, 46 runs scored, 17 doubles, one triple and nine stolen bases over 95 contests.

Belts homer No. 20 Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.

Impact The infielder took Steven Cruz deep with two outs in the ninth inning, but the Giants couldn't find an equalizer afterward. Schmitt is up to 20 homers on the season, including four in 17 contests in July, but his .229/.280/.429 slash line on the month is less appealing.

Registers ninth steal Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Schmitt is hitting .254 (15-for-59) with three home runs, seven RBI and two steals over 14 contests in July. The utility man is now batting .278 with a .795 OPS, 19 home runs, nine steals, 50 RBI and 44 runs scored over 91 contests. He'll volume his way to career highs in most areas this season, though he's coupled that with a better ability to put the ball in play -- he's posted a meager 2.6 percent walk rate, but his 19.2 percent strikeout rate is notably improved compared to previous years.

He's now slashing .282/.309/.496 with 50 RBI, 43 runs scored, 19 long balls and eight stolen bases across 375 plate appearances this season.
