Schmitt had been performing well with a .375 batting average and four home runs in 14 games, positioning himself as a potential starting second baseman. Christian Koss will start at third base while both Schmitt and another player, Chapman, are out.
Schmitt had a slash line of .375/.444/.646 with four home runs and 12 RBIs while playing above-average defense at third base.
