Schneemann started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.

Schneemann gave the Guardians a lead with his fourth home run of the season in the fifth inning before the bullpen let it slip away. Since Gabriel Arias (hamstring) landed on the injured list earlier this month and Brayan Rocchio was moved over to shortstop, Schneemann has been receiving most of his playing time at the keystone, or at third base when Jose Ramirez has served as the club's designated hitter. The Guardians plan to call up top prospect Travis Bazzana from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday to take over as their everyday second baseman, but that doesn't mean Schneemann and his .978 OPS won't find a near-everyday role in the lineup. In addition to being capable of playing second base, third base and shortstop, Schneemann has experience at all three outfield spots.
