Since opening his big-league career with 26 hits in his first 20 games, Schmitt is batting an abysmal .124 with no home runs, eight runs and seven RBI over his subsequent 39 contests.

What we learned in MLB this week: Rookies keeping Mets, Giants, Guardians in playoff hunt

Giants have an arms race at third base between Casey Schmitt, J.D. Davis Both Schmitt and Davis excelled as two-way players in college, and in practice, they don't shy away from showing off their pitching arms.

JUNE 1, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Three more hits Monday Schmitt (ankle) went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 14-4 win over the Pirates.

Impact Schmitt was given Sunday off to recover from a minor ankle issue. He returned to the lineup with his third multi-hit effort in his last five games, and the second three-hit game of his young career. Monday gave fans and fantasy managers a glimpse to what the Giants' infield sans Thairo Estrada (wrist) may look like versus southpaws, with Schmitt at second base, J.D. Davis at third and Brandon Crawford at shortstop, while Brett Wisely hit the bench. Schmitt may see more time at the keystone in the near term if Crawford resumes a starting role at shortstop. Schmitt is slashing .342/.351/.500 with two home runs, two stolen bases, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored through his first 20 major-league contests.

MAY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plates two, steals base Schmitt went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Brewers.

Impact Schmitt contributed a two-run double in the Giants' four-run eighth inning. After hitting safely in nine of his first 10 major-league games, Schmitt has cooled off a bit, going 5-for-22 (.227) over his last six contests. The infielder is slashing .339/.339/.516 with two home runs, two steals, 12 RBI and nine runs scored through 62 plate appearances, and it appears the Giants are committed to getting his bat -- and perhaps more notably, his glove -- into the lineup on a near-everyday basis.

The infielder is slashing .383/.383/.596 with two home runs, nine RBI, seven runs scored and four doubles through 47 plate appearances. He's seen consistent playing time between third base and shortstop, with an occasional turn at second base. As long as his bat stays hot, there should be room for him in the lineup.
