SF Giants Make Roster Moves, Option Schmitt and Call Up Mathias

The San Francisco Giants have optioned infielder Casey Schmitt back to Triple-A after a slump in offensive performance, with no clear path to playing time due to the return of Brandon Crawford and Thairo Estrada. In his place, the Giants have called up utility man Mark Mathias, who is known for his solid defense and quality plate appearances. Mathias, a Giants fan from Fremont, will serve as the backup at second and shortstop. The Giants hope that either Schmitt or Marco Luciano can provide more upside off the bench in Triple-A and be ready for a call-up if needed.
