Casey Schmitt homers in debut, Giants beat Nationals 4-1
Casey Schmitt homered for his first career hit in his major league debut and the San Francisco Giants beat the Washington Nationals 4-1 on Tuesday nightMAY 10, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brandon Crawford - Hoping to return this week Crawford (calf) said Tuesday that he's hoping to return during the Giants' series in Arizona which begins this Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Crawford ran in the outfield Monday and has also been doing a range of other baseball activities. He was placed on the 10-day injured list May 1 with a right calf strain and the Giants have since promoted prospect Casey Schmitt to help fill the gap at shortstop. Schmitt can also play second base and third base, so he might stick around through Crawford's return.

Michael Conforto - Day off Tuesday Conforto is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against Washington.
Impact Conforto will get a breather after he went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's series opener, extending his hitless streak to five straight games. Over those contests, the outfielder has gone 0-for-15 with two runs scored, three walks and six strikeouts. Conforto will have a chance to reset Tuesday as Mitch Haniger slides to right field while Brett Wisley draws the start in center field and bats ninth versus the Nationals.

Joc Pederson - Sitting against southpaw Pederson is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Nationals.
Impact Pederson will take a seat as the Giants face left-hander Patrick Corbin on the mound Tuesday. Pederson has gone 1-for-7 with a double and three strikeouts against lefties in 2023. Righty bat David Villar will take over at designated hitter and bat sixth against Washington.

Casey Schmitt - Starts at short in MLB debut Schmitt is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in his MLB debut Tuesday against the Nationals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Schmitt jumps right into action for the Giants after being called up Tuesday from Triple-A Sacramento, where he was slashing .313/.352/.410 through 145 plate appearances this year. With improving power and a bit of speed -- to along with a regular role in the absence of Brandon Crawford (calf) -- the 24-year-old might be worth a try in deeper fantasy formats.

Impact Stevenson is hitless in nine at-bats for the Giants this season. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Casey Schmitt.

Darin Ruf - Reinstated from IL, DFA'd Tuesday Ruf (wrist) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and subsequently designated for assignment Tuesday.
Impact Ruf went 4-for-20 with a double, an RBI and a run scored over his five-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento and now instead of returning to the big leagues, he'll either remain with Sacramento, be claimed by another team or released outright. The 36-year-old has produced a .261 average with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored over 23 at-bats with the Giants in 2023.

Casey Schmitt - Added to MLB roster Schmitt had his contract selected from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
Impact Schmitt will get his first close-up with the Giants after delivering a .313/.352/.410 batting line with one home run, 22 RBI, three stolen bases and 19 runs scored through 32 games this season at the Triple-A level. The 24-year-old can play shortstop, third base and second base, offering defensive versatility and a solid bat for San Francisco. He'll likely draw most of his playing time at short as Brandon Crawford nurses a calf strain.

Casey Schmitt - Promotion likely Schmitt is likely to be called up from Triple-A Sacramento by the Giants prior to Tuesday's game versus the Nationals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Schmitt, 24, has put together a .313/.352/.410 batting line with one home run and three stolen bases in 32 games with Sacramento this season. He's played plenty of shortstop and third base with Sacramento and recently added second base to the mix, as well. Schmitt could see fairly regular action for the Giants while bouncing around the infield.

Joc Pederson - Crushes fourth homer of year Pederson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-1 loss against the Nationals.
Impact Pederson's 399-foot shot to left-center finally put the Giants on the board in the bottom of the ninth. The long ball was a welcome sight for fantasy managers, as the former Dodger is not currently having one of his best seasons at the plate, slashing just .227/.322/.453. The designated hitter needs to string together more productive offensive games before being considered a solid option.

Anthony DeSclafani - Coughs up five runs in loss DeSclafani (3-2) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk over seven innings against Washington. He struck out three.
Impact Although DeSclafani pitched deep into the game, his five earned runs allowed were the most he's given up this year. However, the right-hander is still having a great season, as his 0.93 is tied for sixth in MLB. The 33-year-old is still a dependable option heading into his next tentative appearance against Arizona.

Alex Wood - Could return earlier than expected Wood (hamstring) could return to San Francisco's rotation later in the week, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Impact Wood looked strong in his latest rehab appearance at Triple-A Sacramento, and he told skipper Gabe Kapler after the start that he feels ready, per Emerman. The team has yet to make anything official, but it's possible the lefty could make his return to the mound Friday in Arizona, likely bumping Ross Stripling back to a relief role.

Joey Bart - Gets Monday off Bart isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Bart will take a seat for a second straight day after also sitting out of Sunday's series finale against the Brewers. Blake Sabol draws the start behind the dish and will bat seventh in Bart's place.

Mike Yastrzemski - Making steady progress Yastrzemski (hamstring) has been cleared to hit and throw, and he's expected to run Tuesday, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Impact Yastrzemski landed on the 10-day injured list May 1 due to a left hamstring strain, but he's already making solid progress in his recovery. The team has yet to reveal a concrete timetable for his return, though they'll likely have a better idea over the next few days after seeing how he responds to running.
