Schuemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

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).
