Homers in massive loss Schuemann went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 19-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Schuemann started at second base, entering the starting nine for the first time since April 29. He has yet to bat higher than ninth in the order while serving as a utility player throughout the early stages of the campaign. The 27-year-old has done fine when called upon, batting .250 with a .752 OPS, one homer, one RBI, six runs scored, two stolen bases and two triples over 39 plate appearances. However, it'll likely take injuries to other players for Schuemann to carve out a larger role.

APRIL 17 • Associated Press

Drawing third start of season Schuemann will start at third base and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Schuemann has the ability to play all over the infield and outfield, but with the Athletics having enjoyed generally good health so far this season from their position players, the 27-year-old utility man hasn't been able to pick up meaningful playing time. He'll be starting Thursday for just the third time in the Athletics' first 19 games.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Looks set for utility role Schuemann appears likely to win a roster spot in a utility role with the A's, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. He's hitting .227 (5-for-22) in nine games this spring.

Impact Schuemann made his big-league debut in 2024 with the A's and posted a .220/.311/.308 slash line with seven home runs and 14 steals in 133 games. He saw most of his playing time at shortstop, but Jacob Wilson appears set as the starting shortstop. Schuemann could be good source of speed (14 steals last season) if he finds significant playing time.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Friday Schuemann is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Schuemann has slashed .141/.191/.188 with three runs scored and three RBI over 68 plate appearances since Sept. 1. Darell Hernaiz will start at third base Friday and bat ninth.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Tuesday Schuemann isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers.

Impact Schuemann will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going 0-for-10 with three strikeouts across his last four games. Darell Hernaiz will fill the opening at third base and bat ninth while Schuemann rests.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Day off versus lefty Schuemann isn't in Oakland's lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Southpaw Carlos Rodon will toe the slab for New York on Saturday, meaning the left-handed bat of Schuemann won't be part of Oakland's starting nine. Nick Allen will replace him at the hot corner while batting ninth.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Getting day off Schuemann is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Cubs.

Impact Schuemann manned third base for the Athletics in each of the previous five games, but he will begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench. Nick Allen will handle the hot corner and bat ninth.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Oakland lineup Schuemann is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Houston.

Impact Schuemann started each of the first two games of the series and reached base four times, but he'll get a breather for Thursday's matinee. Nick Allen will cover third base and bat ninth for the Athletics.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two steals, two runs in win Schuemann went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Astros.

Impact Schuemann has posted just four multi-hit efforts since the start of August, batting a meager .162 (17-for-105) in that span. While the rookie hasn't played particularly well of late, Wednesday's performance was an exception -- he avoided striking out for the first time in eight games. Schuemann is now at a .224/.315/.315 slash line with 14 steals, seven home runs, 34 RBI, 52 runs scored and 12 doubles over 121 contests. The Athletics' infield is full of right-handed hitters, so Schuemann is likely to continue seeing steady playing time at third base down the stretch.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Schuemann isn't in Oakland's lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Schuemann will take a seat Saturday after going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Friday's series opener. His absence will move Tristan Gray to third base while Seth Brown covers first, allowing Daz Cameron to pick up a start in left field and bat sixth.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rings up 12th steal in win Schuemann went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

Impact The rookie recorded his 12th steal of the campaign after getting plunked in the ninth inning, and he subsequently came around to score on Lawrence Butler's double. Schuemann drew another start at third base while Jacob Wilson filled in at shortstop Friday, and the first-year duo looks poised to remain in that arrangement on most days down the stretch.

AUGUST 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Homer, three hits in win Schuemann went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

Impact Schuemann homered to give the Athletics a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning and fell a triple shy of the cycle in his first multi-hit game since Aug. 2. It was a much needed boost for the 27-year-old, as he entered Tuesday in a 2-for-32 slump over his previous 10 games. On the season, he is hitting .233 with seven home runs, 30 RBI, 48 runs scored and 11 steals across 371 plate appearances.

AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to fill everyday role at 3B Schuemann is expected to see most of his reps at third base moving forward after the Athletics optioned Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas following Sunday's 4-3 win over the Bre...

Impact Schuemann has made each of his last 30 starts at shortstop, but he'll likely see fewer opportunities at that position moving forward with Jacob Wilson (hamstring) likely to return from the injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Cincinnati. The Athletics are still expected to keep Schuemann in the lineup on at least a semi-regular basis by deploying him at the hot corner, where Hernaiz had been serving as the team's primary option prior to his demotion. Schuemann's last start at third base came back on July 19, which coincided with Wilson making his MLB debut as Oakland's starting shortstop before exiting that game early due to the hamstring strain.

AUGUST 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting down Tuesday Schuemann isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Schuemann will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going just 1-for-21 with seven walks over his last eight games. His absence will move Darell Hernaiz to shortstop and allow Abraham Toro to pick up a start at third base while batting seventh.

AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On base three times Sunday Schuemann went 0-for-1 with three walks and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Impact The rookie displayed impressive plate discipline out of the bottom of the order, pushing his season on-base percentage to .344 with his first multi-walk tally since July 25. Schuemann has now reached safely in six straight starts, a stretch where he boasts a .450 OBP across 20 plate appearances.

AUGUST 12, 2024 • MLB.COM

Long starting streak ends Schuemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact For the first time since June 30, Schuemann will exit the starting nine and give way at shortstop to Darell Hernaiz, who was recently reinstated from the injured list. Schuemann took over as the Athletics' everyday shortstop shortly after Hernaiz was placed on the IL in mid-May, and though prospect Jacob Wilson was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on July 19 and was expected to threaten Schuemann's standing atop the depth chart, Wilson strained his hamstring in his MLB debut and went on the IL two days later. While the Athletics have continued to deploy Schuemann near the bottom of the batting order, he's been able to maintain a regular role by getting on base at a .335 clip this season and providing a dash of speed (11 steals in 12 attempts).

AUGUST 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in two Monday Schuemann went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a win over the White Sox on Monday.

Impact The rookie snapped a 1-1 tie in the fourth with his single, which brought home JJ Bleday and Zack Gelof to give the Athletics a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Prior to Monday, Schuemann had gone 11 games without an RBI, a stretch during which he'd hit just .200 overall and a miserable .077 with runners on base. Despite those forgettable numbers, Schuemann may be in the early stages of a resurgence, now having hit safely in three of his past four games.

AUGUST 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another stolen base Sunday Schuemann went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Angels.

Impact Schuemann went hitless for a second straight day but was able to swipe base No. 11 when he reached with a walk in the fourth. If he had enough plate appearances to qualify, Schuemann would lead the A's in walk rate at 11.7 percent, as he's shown an exceptionally patient eye at the plate as a rookie. The 27-year-old is slashing .256/.346/.364 with six homers, 26 RBI, 45 runs and a 33:76 BB:K in 292 plate appearances.
