The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento. Schmitt will bat eighth and start at second base Friday against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
With Thairo Estrada (wrist) being placed on the 10-day IL on Friday, Schmitt will join the Giants' active roster and provide depth in the middle infield. In 12 big-league games this season, Schmitt is slashing .220/.238/.390 with a pair of homers.
