Davis Schneider - Page 14 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Batting seventh in MLB debut Schneider is starting at second base and batting seventh in his major-league debut Friday against the Red Sox.

Impact Whit Merrifield is in left field and both Santiago Espinal and Cavan Biggio are on the bench. Schneider might have to get off to a hot start in order to carve out regular playing time with the Blue Jays, but he does at least seem capable of doing that. The 24-year-old had posted a .969 OPS with 21 home runs and 64 RBI through 87 games this season for Triple-A Buffalo.

Officially promoted to bigs Toronto selected Schneider's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

Impact Schneider doesn't have a clear path toward regular playing time with the Blue Jays, but the 28th-round pick from the 2017 MLB Draft has forced his way to the bigs after registering a .969 OPS with 21 home runs and 21 doubles across 87 games this summer at Triple-A. He'll likely operate as a super-utility option at a variety of positions while offering some pop off the bench.

Getting call-up to Jays Schneider will be called up to the Blue Jays on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Schneider was a 28th-round pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, but he has steadily risen through the Jays' minor-league system and had exploded for a .969 OPS with 21 home runs and nine stolen bases through 87 games this season at Triple-A Buffalo. It's not exactly clear how he might fit into Toronto's lineup, but the 24-year-old has played pretty much every position on the diamond since beginning his professional career. Most of his starts with Buffalo have come at either second base or left field.
