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).

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.

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.

Reaches double-digit steal mark Schuemann went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Angels on Thursday.

Impact Several other teammates delivered bigger hits, but Schuemann once again came through with a productive outing out of the bottom of the order. The rookie now has authored five multi-hit efforts in the last 12 games, and he's reached safely in 11 of those contests on his way to a blistering .400 average and 1.003 OPS in that 46 plate-appearance span.

JULY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Multi-hit effort in Monday's win Schuemann went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Astros on Monday.

Impact Schuemann closed out the scoring on the night in the fourth inning with his timely knock, which plated Zack Gelof. The rookie has emerged from the All-Star break with a sizzling bat, going 6-for-11 with two doubles, a home run, six RBI, three walks and seven runs over his first four games. However, he's been consistently delivering at the plate for the majority of July, a month in which he's mustered a .396 average, 1.133 OPS, five extra-base hits and 11 RBI across 60 plate appearances.

JULY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in blowout win Schuemann went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, four total RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 13-3 win over the Angels.

Impact Schuemann got the start at third base rather than shortstop, but he was quickly moved back to his most common position after Jacob Wilson suffered a hamstring strain early in the game. It appeared Wilson's promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas could have a ripple effect on the Athletics' infield, but if the injury lands him on the injured list, Schuemann would figure to once again have a clear path to an everyday role. For the season, Schuemann is slashing .255/.345/.373 with six home runs, eight doubles, 24 RBI, 39 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 75 contests, though he's been sharper lately by hitting .390 (16-for-41) in July.

Strong finish to first half Schuemann went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs in a win over the Phillies on Sunday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.

Impact The rookie's productive line looks deceptively tame next to those of some of his teammates, considering three Athletics players slugged multiple home runs and Zack Gelof belted a grand slam. However, Schuemann was a very effective table-setting presence out of the bottom of the order, crossing the plate on each of Lawrence Butler's trio of homers. The All-Star break arguably comes at an inopportune time for Schuemann, who heads into the pause in play hitting .357 (10-for-28) over his last eight games while mustering a trio of multi-hit efforts in that span.

Stays hot in Wednesday's win Schuemann went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs in a win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Impact Schuemann made plenty of noise out of the bottom of the order, generating one of two multi-hit efforts for the Athletics on the night while recording a steal for the second straight game. The rookie shortstop also has an eight-game on-base streak, and he's now posted multi-hit tallies twice in the last four contests.

JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs eighth steal Tuesday Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a walk in a loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Impact The rookie extended his on-base streak to seven games, a stretch during which he's cobbled together an impressive .350 average and 1.130 OPS, along with three of his eight steals on the season. Schuemann has a modest four-game hitting streak going as well, pushing his improving season slash line to .236/.329/.347 across 234 plate appearances.

Belts three-run homer Schuemann went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk in Saturday's 19-8 rout of Baltimore.

Impact Schuemann mashed Oakland's second three-run homer of the game in the second inning to give the A's an early 6-0 lead. It was his second long ball over his past four contests following a 27-game stretch in which he failed to go deep. Schuemann's multi-hit performance Saturday was his first since June 1, a span of 27 games.

Swipes seventh base Friday Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

Impact The Athletics strung together three singles as part of their five hits on the night, and Schuemann was able to parlay his one knock into his seventh stolen base of the season. The rookie has reached safely in seven of his last eight games, including four straight, a stretch that's resulted in a slight boost for his .229/.321/.330 slash line across the board and that includes three of his steals for the campaign.

Smacks solo homer Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's win over the Angels.

Impact Schuemann jumped on a hanging slider from Davis Daniel in the bottom of the fifth and sent it into the stands in left field for his fourth home run of the campaign. The shortstop has now hit safely in four of his last five games while also driving in at least one run in three of those outings. On the downside, Schuemann has also struck out twice in five of his last eight contests.

JULY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs steal in win Schuemann went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Angels.

Impact Schuemann has a steal in two of his last three games, though he's hitting a meager .149 (7-for-47) over his last 15 contests. He's maintained a starting role at shortstop, though his .227/.316/.315 slash line for the year is far from impressive. He's added three home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and six thefts across 63 games. Armando Alvarez is Schuemann's biggest threat for playing time until Darell Hernaiz (ankle) can return, which is likely to be after the All-Star break.

JULY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat Sunday Schuemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Schuemann has gone 5-for-41 (.122 average) with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate in his past 13 games and will sit for Sunday's series finale in Arizona. Aledmys Diaz will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.

Hits first homer, adds steal Schuemann went 1-for-2 with a home run and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Guardians.

Impact Schuemann's fifth-inning blast off of Logan Allen represented his first major-league hit and home run. He also added the first stolen base of his career later in the game after reaching on a walk. Schuemann was making his third start at a third different position (third base) Saturday and all three starts have come against lefties. He's unlikely to make a fantasy impact.

Impact The 26-year-old boasts a diverse offensive resume that includes 14 doubles, two triples, six homers, 29 RBI and 11 stolen bases over 256 plate appearances. Schuemann put together solid offensive stints at Double-A Midland in 2021 and 2022 as well, and although the hitter-friendly environment of the Pacific Coast League is undoubtedly helping boost his current numbers, it's certainly possible he's deemed worthy of a promotion to the big-league club before season's end.
