Casey Schmitt: Everything you need to know

Schmitt went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Orioles. Schmitt reached base in each of his final three plate appearances, highlighted by a solo blast in the ninth inning. The 27-year-old has now hit safely in five straight games, a stretch that includes 11 total hits, five of which have gone for extra bases.

Schmitt will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Orioles, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Schmitt has yet to resume playing the field since experiencing back tightness late last week, but after making some progress in his recovery from the injury, he's been able to reclaim a regular spot in the lineup at DH. He'll be making his fourth start in five games after doubling four times and adding a base hit in 12 at-bats over his previous three contests.

Schmitt went 3-for-5 with three doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 6-3 win over the Orioles. Schmitt doubled in the fourth inning before coming around to score, added another double in the fifth and hit an RBI double in the seventh. He's now recorded multiple hits three times this season, including two three-hit performances. After finishing San Francisco's opening series against the Yankees without a hit, the 27-year-old infielder has gone 10-for-21 with five doubles, three runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base over his last 24 plate appearances.
