Casey Schmitt Fantasy Stats

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the New York Mets. Schmitt has been pulled from the lineup due to back tightness. This doesn't seem like something that will sideline him long, so fantasy managers should consider Schmitt as day-to-day. Jerar Encarnacion will take over at first base and bat ninth in place of Schmitt on Friday. Fantasy managers should check back on Saturday for another update, but Schmitt isn't someone who needs to be rostered in most fantasy formats at the moment.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt (wrist) will continue his hitting progression for one more week before he'll be cleared for all baseball activities, according to MLB.com. Schmitt is a little behind in spring training after having surgery to remove the carpal boss in his left wrist with Dr. Steven Shin in Los Angeles on Dec. 2. The 26-year-old is primarily a middle infielder, but he filled in at the hot corner in San Fran for a bit last year when Matt Chapman was out due to injuries. Schmitt slashed a very modest .237/.305/.401 with a .706 OPS, a career-high 12 home runs, 40 RBI, and 34 runs scored in a career-high 95 games played (348 plate appearances). His batted-ball metrics are merely average, and Schmitt doesn't make enough consistent contact to carry a high average if he falls into more playing time around the infield. In a utility role, Schmitt can be ignored in mixed fantasy leagues in 2026.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt (wrist) was cleared to begin a hitting progression last week, according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com. Schmitt has been on the shelf since undergoing wrist surgery early in the offseason. The infielder noted that he hopes to be a full-go for spring training. Schmitt sustained this injury on June 25 but was able to play through it during the entire second half. Across 95 games, the former 49th overall pick held a .237/.305/.401 line with a .706 OPS. He hit 12 home runs and added 15 doubles. Under the hood, Schmitt generated a modest .328 xwOBA with a slightly higher .256 xBA. Managers should expect the 26-year-old to open the regular season serving as the team's primary second baseman.

The San Francisco Giants announced on Tuesday that infielder Casey Schmitt (wrist) had surgery to remove the carpal boss in his left wrist, according to Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com. Schmitt is expected to spend the next eight to 10 weeks rehabbing from his surgery. Although the 26-year-old might be eased into the start of spring training, he should be ready for Opening Day in 2026, barring a setback. The former second-rounder hit .237/.305/.401 with a .706 OPS, career-high 12 home runs, 40 RBI, and 34 runs scored for the Giants in 95 games played this past season in his third year in the big leagues. Schmitt filled in at third base when Matt Chapman missed time due to injuries, but he's primarily a second baseman and could be in the mix for the starting job, depending on whether the Giants add any competition at the keystone this offseason. Schmitt is primarily middle-infield depth in NL-only fantasy leagues.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt (elbow) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Schmitt is dealing with an elbow injury after getting hit by a pitch during Monday's contest. The X-rays came back clean, so Schmitt doesn't appear to be dealing with any fractures. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Christian Koss will take over second base and bat eighth versus left-hander Kyle Freeland on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday for another update on Schmitt.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt (elbow) left an 8-2 win over the Colorado Rockies early on Monday after taking a pitch off the right elbow, but it appears he avoided serious damage. X-rays were negative afterward, and Schmitt could play on Tuesday, according to John Shea of the San Francisco Standard. Schmitt started the game at second base and wound up exiting in the fifth inning after going 0-for-1. The Giants replaced him with Christian Koss, who's likely to man the keystone if Schmitt has to miss time. The 26-year-old Schmitt has hit .238/.311/.398 with nine homers, 31 RBI, and 25 runs scored over 75 games and 271 trips to the plate this season.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt (forearm) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival San Diego Padres and left-hander Nestor Cortes at Petco Park, playing third base and batting cleanup. Schmitt has been cleared to return after missing the last two games due to a contusion on his right forearm. The 26-year-old former second-rounder in 2020 out of San Diego State University is currently seeing regular playing time at the hot corner with Matt Chapman (hand) back on the injured list. Schmitt is slashing .251/.324/.405 on the year with seven round-trippers, 24 RBI and 20 runs scored in 195 at-bats. He's been better in August, though, going 12-for-42 (.286) with two homers, three doubles and seven RBI, and he's hit .800 with a homer and two RBI in only five career at-bats against Cortes.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Casey Schmitt (forearm) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Schmitt was hit by a pitch on the forearm during Friday's contest. The X-rays came back negative, so Schmitt shouldn't require a stint on the injured list. He sat out on Saturday and is absent on Sunday as well. Hopefully, Schmitt will be back in the mix early next week. In his absence, Christian Koss will cover third base and bat sixth against right-hander Ryan Pepiot on Sunday.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt was hit by a pitch in the elbow during his at-bat in the eighth inning of Friday's 7-6 loss to the Rays and was subsequently removed from the game. Tyler Fitzgerald replaced Schmitt in the lineup, but it was Christian Koss who slid over to third from second base and filled in at the hot corner after Schmitt's departure. It is unclear if Schmitt will have to miss any time, but if he does, Koss could see more starts at third, while Fitzgerald could be in line for more starts at second. Koss recently returned from the injured list himself and picked up two hits, an RBI, and two runs scored in Friday's contest. He's hitting .265 on the season with three home runs and three steals, and is eligible at 2B, 3B, and SS on Yahoo! if any fantasy managers need to replace Schmitt, who, for now, should be considered day-to-day. UPDATE: Schmitt has a right-forearm contusion after X-rays came back negative. He will be out for a couple days.

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt (hand) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Monday. Schmitt is back in the mix after being sidelined since late June due to hand inflammation. He'll jump right back into the lineup batting sixth and playing second base versus left-hander Cristopher Sanchez on Monday. Schmitt is slashing .276/.360/.439 with four home runs and 15 RBI across 34 games this season. He should offer some deep league appeal, but won't have much value outside of that. In a corresponding move, infielder Tyler Fitzgerald has been optioned to Triple-A.
