"Backup infielder-turned-platoon-first-baseman Casey Schmitt was scratched from Friday's lineup after tweaking his oblique in the batting cage."
"The Giants announced that the righty has a Grade 2 left oblique strain, and is expected to miss a month of action."
"Villar is more than just a placeholder: he's in line to be a critical part of the roster for a significant chunk of time."
"Marco Luciano would be the most logical name, if he can start to force the issue in AAA Sacramento."
The San Francisco Giants made early roster changes with Casey Schmitt injured, who has been placed on the 10-Day Injured List due to a Grade 2 left oblique strain. Schmitt will be unavailable for about a month, with David Villar stepping in to take his role. Villar is anticipated to become a crucial player during this absence. The Giants also consider Marco Luciano as a potential addition if he performs well in AAA Sacramento, but for now, Villar's performance will be essential.
