The San Francisco Giants will be without infielder Casey Schmitt for at least the next ten days after he sustained a knee injury during a 3-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Oracle Park. The team confirmed on Tuesday that Schmitt has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a torn left meniscus, following an MRI that revealed the extent of the damage.

Schmitt, 27, suffered the injury early in Monday night’s game. In the bottom of the second inning, he connected with a fly ball single to right field. As he attempted to advance to second base, he abruptly halted and turned back toward first as the Brewers retrieved the ball. Unfortunately, in the process of reversing his momentum, Schmitt appeared to tweak his knee, hobbling back to the bag.

His exit from the game was concerning, and fans watched anxiously as he left the field. The Giants will need to adjust their lineup in his absence, hoping for a swift recovery for the promising infielder.
