Max Schuemann - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Playing time on rise Schuemann will start in left field and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Rays.

Impact The 29-year-old has been up with the Yankees since April 28 following his call-up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but it wasn't until May 7 that he made his first start. Though Schuemann continued to see scarce opportunities over his first two months with the big club, he's finally begun gaining some traction in the outfield in July while the Yankees navigate the absences of Aaron Judge (rib) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf). Schuemann will stick in the starting nine for the fifth time in six games after going 3-for-9 with a home run and two walks through his first four contests of the month.

Big day in losing effort Schuemann went 2-for-2 with two walks and a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Twins.

Impact Getting the start in center field while Trent Grisham got a partial day off as the DH in his second game back from the IL, Schuemann took Zebby Matthews (foot) deep in the fifth inning, but it proved to be a drop in the bucket against a six-homer onslaught by Minnesota hitters. The 29-year-old utility player has two homers on the season, with both of them coming in his last four games, and through 39 plate appearances in the majors this season he's slashing .231/.423/.487 with two steals, six RBI and nine runs while seeing action at every position except catcher and first base.

Laces two-RBI double in win Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 13-8 win over the Athletics.

Impact With left-hander Jacob Lopez starting for the Athletics, Schuemann drew the start at second base before shifting to right field. The 28-year-old contributed to the Yankees' 13-run third inning, roping a two-RBI double to the left-field wall. While the utility man hasn't seen much action in the majors, he has been productive when called upon in 2026, slashing .294/.500/.471 with three doubles, three RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases across 24 plate appearances.

Steals two bags Monday Schuemann went 1-for-2 with two walks, a run and two stolen bases in a 7-6 win over Toronto on Monday.

Impact Schuemann got the start at third base before shifting over to left field late in the game. He made the most of the opportunity, reaching three times and swiping his first two bags of the campaign. Schuemann ranks in the 64th percentile in sprint speed leaguewide, but he had been 0-for-2 in theft attempts coming into Monday. He holds a fine .286/.474/.429 slash line across 19 plate appearances on the campaign but isn't much of a fantasy asset since he plays so sparingly -- Monday marked just his second start over New York's past six contests.

Tough day Tuesday Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout, was caught stealing twice and committed an error in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Orioles.

Impact While Anthony Volpe was called up earlier in the day to replace Jose Caballero (finger) on the roster, it was Schuemann to got the nod at shortstop and batted eighth for the Yankees. Manager Aaron Boone has already indicated Caballero won't lose his starting job while on the IL, which could be a suggestion that Volpe won't see an everyday assignment in his return to the majors, but Schuemann didn't exactly put his best foot forward when given a chance. Since his own promotion in late April, Schuemann has gone 3-for-11 with two doubles and a 2:3 BB:K.
