Schebler was reassigned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Schebler joined the Rockies this spring as a non-roster invitee, batting .267 while driving in two runs in 15 at-bats over eight games. The 31-year-old has struggled to produce at the big-league level over the last three seasons, slashing .129/.223/.224 over 130 at-bats.

Rockies' Scott Schebler: Invited to Rockies camp
Rotowire
Schebler signed with the Rockies as a non-roster invitee Saturday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Any hitter who earns regular playing time at Coors Field is worth a look, though Schebler doesn't look like a favorite to do so. While he was a capable hitter early in his career, he's received just 130 major-league plate appearances over the last three seasons and has hit a miserable .129/.223/.224 in those opportunities.

Angels' Scott Schebler: Clears waivers
Rotowire
Schebler cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Schebler will remain in the organization after he was designated for assignment by the Angels on Saturday. The outfielder has appeared in 40 games at Triple-A Salt Lake this year, and he's slashed .281/.355/.523 with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 22 runs and a stolen base.

Angels' Scott Schebler: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Schebler was designated for assignment by the Angels on Saturday.
Schebler's contract was selected by the Halos at the end of June, and he went 1-for-7 with a run and six strikeouts across three appearances with the big-league club. He'll now be cast off the 40-man roster as part of a move to make room for right-hander Andrew Wantz, whose contract was selected Saturday.

Angels' Scott Schebler: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
Schebler's contract was selected by the Angels on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Schebler spent a brief period of time on the big-league roster early in the season but accomplished very little, going 4-fro-27 with 11 strikeouts. He now owns a .128/.228/.229 slash line in 123 plate appearances at the big-league level over the last three seasons, so it's tough to see him carving out a significant role. Kean Wong was optioned in a corresponding move.

Rotowire
Schebler cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Angels' Scott Schebler: Contract selected by Angels
Rotowire
Schebler's contract was selected by the Angels on Friday.
Schebler served as a non-roster invitee in spring training and slashed .290/.343/.645 with three home runs and 10 RBI. He'll now join the major-league club as outfield depth going forward after Jon Jay was designated for assignment Friday.

Angels' Scott Schebler: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Schebler was reassigned to minor-league camp Friday.
Schebler was in camp as a non-roster invitee and hit well across 29 plate appearances, accruing a .333/.387/.741 line. However, that wasn't enough for him to crack the roster due to the team's other offseason additions, such as Juan Lagares, Jon Jay and Dexter Fowler.

Angels' Scott Schebler: Signs minors deal with Angels
Rotowire
Schebler signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Saturday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
The deal will pay the outfielder $900,000 if he's able to earn a big-league job. Things haven't gone well for Schebler in recent seasons, as he received just a single plate appearance for the Braves in 2020 after hitting a miserable .123/.253/.222 in 95 trips to the plate for the Reds in 2019. He's still just 30 years old and owns a respectable enough 98 career wRC+ though, so there's at least a chance he turns things around and earns a bench spot.

Braves' Scott Schebler: Outrighted to alternate camp
Rotowire
Schebler was sent outright to Atlanta's alternate camp site Thursday.
Schebler will remain in the Braves organization after being designated for assignment and subsequently going unclaimed on waivers. The outfielder appeared in 30 games for the Reds in 2019 and hit .123/.253/.222 in 95 plate appearances.

Braves' Scott Schebler: Cast off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Braves designated Schebler for assignment Thursday.
Schebler was acquired from the Reds shortly before Opening Day to provide the Braves with some extra depth in the outfield, but he didn't see any use off the bench until he appeared as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays. He'll cede his spot on the 40-man and 28-man roster to reliever Will Smith, who was activated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.

Braves' Scott Schebler: Added to active roster
Rotowire
Schebler (undisclosed) was activated off the injured list and will join the Braves' active roster Wednesday.
Schebler was acquired from the Reds in exchange for cash considerations on Opening Day, though he opened the year on the injured list for undisclosed reasons. He's evidently ready to play now, though he'll likely be buried deep on the depth chart, especially after Nick Markakis elected to opt back into playing this season Wednesday.

Braves' Scott Schebler: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
Schebler was placed on the injured list for undisclosed reasons Tuesday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.
Schebler was acquired from the Reds on Friday but was presumably not expected to fill much more than an organizational depth role. It's now unclear when he'll be able to play in any capacity.

Braves' Scott Schebler: Traded to Atlanta
Rotowire
Schebler was traded from Cincinnati to Atlanta in exchange for cash considerations Friday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.
Schebler was a serviceable option for the Reds from 2016 to 2018, posting a wRC+ between 98 and 108 in each season. He hit a miserable .123/.253/.222 in a small sample of just 30 games last season and hit a similarly poor .216/.274/.325 in 53 games for Triple-A Louisville, so he's unlikely to be one of the Braves' top options this season.

Reds' Scott Schebler: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Schebler was designated for assignment by the Reds on Sunday.
Schebler was part of the Reds' 60-man roster during camp, but he'll find himself off the 40-man roster to make room for Brooks Raley, whose contract was selected by the team in a corresponding move. The 29-year-old appeared in 30 major-league games last season but didn't fare very well, hitting .123/.253/.222 with two home runs and seven RBI.

Reds' Scott Schebler: Invited to summer camp
Rotowire
Schebler will be a part of the Reds' 60-man player pool this season.
This is not surprising given that Schebler is on the 40-man roster. However, he will not be among the six outfielders training at Great American Ball Park, so Schebler is unlikely to play a major role for the Reds in 2020.

Reds' Scott Schebler: Healthy after shoulder surgery
Rotowire
Schebler has fully recovered from the torn labrum in his right shoulder that required surgery in August, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Schebler is a long shot to make the Reds' Opening Day roster, following their acquisitions of Nick Castellanos and Shogo Akiyama. Barring an IL stint for Nick Senzel and/or Jesse Winker to begin the season, at best he's currently sixth on the outfield depth chart, and he might also be behind Philip Ervin, Travis Jankowski or Josh VanMeter.

Reds' Scott Schebler: Still struggling
Rotowire
Schebler is hitting .215/.311/.241 at Triple-A Louisville and has yet to homer in 90 plate appearances since his demotion.
While Schebler nominally has lowered his strikeout rate, from 28.4% in the majors to 24.4% in the minors, his power has disappeared. His Triple-A ISO is a minuscule .026. If an injury occurs at the big-league level, it's most likely going to be Phillip Ervin getting the call over Schebler, if Ervin's not already up with the big club.

Reds' Scott Schebler: Banished to minors
Rotowire
Schebler was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
With Nick Senzel now up as the everyday center fielder, the Reds opted to give Schebler everyday at-bats in the minors rather than keep him around as a fourth outfielder. He clearly needs to figure something out, as he's hitting .123/.253/.222 through 30 games. Cody Reed was recalled in a corresponding move.
