Giants place Casey Schmitt on injured list, call up Osleivis Basabe

The San Francisco Giants have placed third baseman Casey Schmitt on the 10-Day Injured List due to a torn meniscus in his left knee. Schmitt sustained the injury while running to first base during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers on July 27. He was in the midst of a breakout season, and the usual recovery time for this type of injury is 6-8 weeks, likely ending his season. Infielder Osleivis Basabe has been called up from AAA Sacramento to take his place on the roster, though he may only remain briefly until Matt Chapman returns later this week.
