In case you missed it, the San Francisco Giants made their first roster moves of the season this weekend. Backup infielder-turned-platoon-first-baseman Casey Schmitt was scratched from Friday’s lineup after tweaking his oblique in the batting cage, and was placed on the 10-Day Injured List, with David Villar taking his spot.
On Monday we got an injury update for Schmitt, and while it’s not terrible, it’s not great, either. The Giants announced that the righty has a Grade 2 left oblique strain, and is expected to miss a month of action.
That means that Villar is likely to get a good amount of run.
