Casey Schmitt Stats

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt is not in the lineup for Saturday's contest against Johan Oviedo and the Pittsburgh Pirates. The rookie burst onto the scene earlier this season with a hot first month to his career but has cooled down drastically and is slashing just .228/.267/.327 with two homers and a pair of steals over 51 games. Brett Wisely will take his spot on the field and bat ninth. The 24-year-old is struggling during his first year in the big leagues, batting .189 with two bombs over 39 games. Fantasy managers in need of offensive help should look elsewhere.

San Francisco Giants rookie infielder Casey Schmitt (arm) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the San Diego Padres and right-hander Yu Darvish. Schmitt is starting at second base and is batting ninth in the lineup. The 24-year-old sat out the last two games after getting hit by a pitch in the arm on Sunday, but he'll be back in there on Wednesday. He's off to a pretty good start in his first 37 major-league games, as he's hitting .264 (34-for-129) with two home runs, nine doubles, 21 RBI, two steals and 16 runs scored in 136 trips to the plate. However, Schmitt won't have much DFS upside for fantasy managers at the bottom of San Francisco's batting order.

San Francisco Giants rookie infielder Casey Schmitt (ankle) is not in the starting lineup against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Schmitt received treatment on his ankle on Saturday after he rolled it in the game against Milwaukee, and now he'll take a day off to rest in the series finale. The 24-year-old former second-round pick has been excellent for the Gigantes since his first big-league call-up, as he's gone 23-for-70 (.329) with five doubles, two home runs, 13 RBI, two stolen bases and 10 runs in his first 18 MLB contests. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. With veteran Brandon Crawford struggling, Schmitt has taken over shortstop duties of late. But with Schmitt out on Sunday, Crawford will get the nod at the 6 and hit eighth against Brewers right-hander Colin Rea.
