The San Francisco Giants have placed infielder Casey Schmitt on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain. Schmitt was scratched shortly before Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels, resulting in David Villar's promotion from Triple-A Sacramento. This marks the Giants' first roster move of the season, as they strive for stability under Buster Posey. With a current record of 13-7, the Giants are performing better compared to last year, where they had made six moves by this date, indicating a more stable roster strategy.

Wilmer Flores, primarily a designated hitter this season, has emerged as a consistent option with the league-leading 23 RBIs and six home runs for the Giants.
