Filling in at 3B for Schmitt
Koss will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Analysis
Koss will pick up a second straight start at third base in place of Casey Schmitt (knee), who has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus that will likely require season-ending surgery. Though he currently sits atop the depth chart, Koss' run as an everyday player will be short-lived. Giants manager Tony Vitello said that Matt Chapman (abdomen) should be ready to come off the 10-day injured list at some point during the club's series with the Padres later this week, at which point Koss will shift back into a utility role.

Logs stolen base in win
Koss went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 3-0 win over the Brewers.
Analysis
Casey Schmitt exited Monday's contest with left knee discomfort after hitting a single, and Koss entered the game in his place before stealing second base. The 28-year-old also drew a walk in the fourth inning but was picked off at first. Koss is slashing just .130/.231/.174 with a run scored and a stolen base across 26 plate appearances this season, though he could see more action if Schmitt misses time.
