• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Moves into utility role

  09/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Schneemann will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rays. Though he'll enter the lineup Sunday while third baseman Jose Ramirez gets a day out of the infield and serves as the Guardians' designated hitter, Schneemann's time as a regular in the Cleveland lineup looks to be over. The left-handed-hitting Schneemann had started in just two of the Guardians' previous six games, with Cleveland facing only one lefty starter during that stretch.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: On bench again Monday

  09/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Schneemann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals. The lefty-hitting Schneemann will take a seat against a right-handed starter (Michael Wacha) for the second day in a row. Manager Stephen Vogt looks to be rewarding Lane Thomas will another turn in center field after Thomas went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates. Despite his success Sunday, Thomas is still slashing just .212/.289/.330 against right-handed pitching this season, so he might have more work to do before firmly displacing Schneemann as the preferred option in center field.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Playing time on downturn

  08/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Schneemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs. The lefty-hitting Schneemann is on the bench for the third straight game, including the second in a row against a right-handed pitcher (Jameson Taillon). The rookie had mostly held down a strong-side platoon role since getting his first big-league call-up June 2, but after producing a modest .660 OPS thus far in August, he looks to have ceded the primary role at shortstop to Brayan Rocchio.
