Giants' Dominic Smith Lands on 10-Day IL with Hamstring Strain

San Francisco Giants first baseman Dominic Smith has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain. The injury occurred on Friday, September 13, 2025, during the Giants' 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, when Smith strained his hamstring while stretching to make a catch. The team officially made the move on Saturday, September 14, 2025, and subsequently reinstated Jerar Encarnacion to the active roster to fill the vacant spot. Smith's absence will temporarily impact the Giants' lineup as he recovers from the injury, with the team hoping for a swift return.
