The article discusses multiple injury updates for the San Francisco Giants, focusing on third baseman Schmitt and outfielder Fitzgerald. Both players face lengthy rehabs that could extend beyond 20 days. The piece also highlights backup catcher Tom Murphy's struggles with a mid-back disc herniation, indicating he will not be reevaluated for another six weeks. His age and injury history raise concerns regarding his ability to return to form, especially given the physical demands of catching. The uncertainties surrounding these injuries may impact the Giants' lineup performance moving forward.
"Schmitt's oblique strain and Tyler Fitzgerald's rib fracture are injuries that could linger, making âcould begin rehabâ quite the load-bearing phrase."
"A catcher with back troubles doesnât seem like a catcher with an easy problem to solve. I cannot imagine a crouch to catch a pitch is conducive to healing a spinal disc."
