Schmitt underwent a debridement of his lateral meniscus Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The Giants said that Schmitt could be ready to return in roughly 6-to-8 weeks, but with San Francisco sitting at 47-62 -- well out of contention for a playoff spot -- the team likely won't be in any rush to bring him back and could opt to keep him out until 2027. Either way, he's expected to have a normal offseason and will be ready for the start of spring training.

Giants' Casey Schmitt: Homers in loss
Rotowire
Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 loss against the Diamondbacks.
Schmitt scored the first run of the game with a solo shot off Merrill Kelly in the first inning for his ninth home run of the season. The 27-year-old utility man remains a lineup regular and has hits in each of his past five games, boosting his batting average to .293 and his OPS to .866. The promotion of Bryce Eldridge in early May seemed likely to threaten Schmitt's playing time, but his continued strong performance at the plate has resulted in him starting 15 of 18 games thus far in May.

Giants' Casey Schmitt: Homers twice in four-hit game
Rotowire
Schmitt went 4-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Athletics.
Schmitt took Luis Severino deep twice, hitting a solo shot in the first inning and adding a two-run blast in the fifth. After an 0-for-9 run over his previous three games, this was a good bounce-back performance for Schmitt, who is in a tough playing time battle. The Giants' lineup has often come down to Schmitt or Bryce Eldridge at designated hitter, and while Schmitt is a right-handed batter, he has played well enough to avoid settling for platoon work so far. He's now batting .293 with an .878 OPS, eight homers, 21 RBI, 19 runs scored, three stolen bases, eight doubles and a triple over 38 contests. The utility man can also get into the lineup when the Giants' regular infielders need a day off, so there should be plenty of at-bats for him as long as he continues to play well.

Giants' Casey Schmitt: Early homer in loss
Rotowire
Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 10-5 loss to the Padres.
Schmitt homered for the second game in a row when he took Walker Buehler deep in the first inning. Over his last 11 contests, Schmitt is batting .350 (14-for-40) with four homers and 10 RBI.

With the addition of prospect Bryce Eldridge to the big-league roster, Schmitt may have to settle for a utility role, but he's hitting well enough to make that a tough daily decision as manager Tony Vitello fills out his lineup card. Schmitt could also push struggling veterans Rafael Devers and Willy Adames for playing time at first base and shortstop, respectively.
