Yankees' Max Schuemann: Optioned off active roster
The Yankees optioned Schuemann to the Florida Complex League on Tuesday.
He's clearing off the active roster in order to make space for the return of Jazz Chisholm (thumb). Schuemann reporting to the Yankees' FCL affiliate allows him to continue working out at the team's spring training complex in case he's needed in the future.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Joins big club
The Yankees recalled Schuemann from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Schuemann has slashed .275/.333/.507 with three homers, six RBI and 14 runs scored across 76 plate appearances since being sent down to Triple-A in late August. He'll now return to the majors to give the Yankees a bench option capable of playing almost anywhere in the field while Aaron Judge (calf) is on the injured list.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Back in minors
The Yankees optioned Schuemann to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Saturday's game against Toronto.
Schuemann was brought up from Triple-A on Friday to make up for the loss of Ryan McMahon (thumb) but will now head back to the minors in preparation for Cody Bellinger's (hamstring) return from the IL on Sunday. Schuemann has slashed .194/.333/.361 across 87 plate appearances in the big leagues this season and will likely spend most of what's left of the year with the RailRiders.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Back with big-league team
The Yankees recalled Schuemann from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.
With Ryan McMahon (thumb) sent to the injured list, Schuemann will rejoin the big-league club after he was optioned earlier this month following the Yankees' deadline acquisitions. Schuemann has slashed just .194/.333/.361 with two homers, eight RBI, 17 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 12:21 BB:K across 87 trips to the plate with New York this season.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Headed to Triple-A
The Yankees optioned Schuemann to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
New York needed to clear room on the 26-man active roster for trade-deadline acquisition Luis Garcia, and Schuemann ended up being the casuality. Schuemann has put up a .694 OPS in 40 games as a utility player for the Yankees this season.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Taking seat for Game 1 of twin bill
Schuemann is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Pirates.
Schuemann appeared to be gaining more traction in the Yankees' everyday lineup heading into the All-Star break, but he now seems to have settled back into a reserve role. He'll be on the bench for the fourth time in five games while the Yankees have opened up more playing time for Paul Goldschmidt at his expense.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Heading to bench for Game 2
Schuemann is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Dodgers.
Schuemann will hit the bench for the night after he went 0-for-3 while starting in right field in the Yankees' 8-2 loss in Game 1. Jasson Dominguez served as the Yankees' designated hitter in the early game but will replace Schuemann in right field for the nightcap.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Playing time on rise
Schuemann will start in left field and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Rays.
The 29-year-old has been up with the Yankees since April 28 following his call-up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but it wasn't until May 7 that he made his first start. Though Schuemann continued to see scarce opportunities over his first two months with the big club, he's finally begun gaining some traction in the outfield in July while the Yankees navigate the absences of Aaron Judge (rib) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf). Schuemann will stick in the starting nine for the fifth time in six games after going 3-for-9 with a home run and two walks through his first four contests of the month.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Big day in losing effort
Schuemann went 2-for-2 with two walks and a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Twins.
Getting the start in center field while Trent Grisham got a partial day off as the DH in his second game back from the IL, Schuemann took Zebby Matthews (foot) deep in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old utility player has two homers on the season, with both of them coming in his last four games. Through 39 plate appearances in the majors this season. Schuemann is slashing .231/.423/.487 with two steals, six RBI and nine runs while seeing action at every position except catcher and first base.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Laces two-RBI double in win
Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 13-8 win over the Athletics.
With left-hander Jacob Lopez starting for the Athletics, Schuemann drew the start at second base before shifting to right field. The 28-year-old contributed to the Yankees' 13-run third inning, roping a two-RBI double to the left-field wall. While the utility man hasn't seen much action in the majors, he has been productive when called upon in 2026, slashing .294/.500/.471 with three doubles, three RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases across 24 plate appearances.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Steals two bags Monday
Schuemann went 1-for-2 with two walks, a run and two stolen bases in a 7-6 win over Toronto on Monday.
Schuemann got the start at third base before shifting over to left field late in the game. He made the most of the opportunity, reaching three times and swiping his first two bags of the campaign. Schuemann ranks in the 64th percentile in sprint speed leaguewide, but he had been 0-for-2 in theft attempts coming into Monday. He holds a fine .286/.474/.429 slash line across 19 plate appearances on the campaign but isn't much of a fantasy asset since he plays so sparingly -- Monday marked just his second start over New York's past six contests.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Tough day Tuesday
Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout, was caught stealing twice and committed an error in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Orioles.
While Anthony Volpe was called up earlier in the day to replace Jose Caballero (finger) on the roster, it was Schuemann who got the nod at shortstop and batted eighth for the Yankees. Manager Aaron Boone has already indicated Caballero won't lose his starting job while on the IL, which could be a suggestion that Volpe won't see an everyday assignment in his return to the majors, but Schuemann didn't exactly put his best foot forward when given a chance. Since his own promotion in late April, Schuemann has gone 3-for-11 with two doubles and a 2:3 BB:K.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Recalled from Triple-A
The Yankees recalled Schuemann from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.
Schuemann sports a .203/.362/.297 batting line with one home run, six stolen bases and a 16:16 BB:K in 23 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. He could be sent back down later this week if Anthony Volpe (shoulder) returns from the injured list.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Will be called up
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday during an appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Schuemann will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take the roster spot of the injured Giancarlo Stanton (calf).
Schuemann has slashed .203/.362/.297 with one home run, six stolen bases and a 16:16 BB:K in 23 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. The utility player could be around for only a few days, as Anthony Volpe (shoulder) has a good chance to be activated from the injured list later this week.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Opening season in minors
The Yankees optioned Schuemann to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
The Yankees acquired Schuemann in a trade with the Athletics in February, and the 28-year-old will officially begin his time with the organization at Triple-A. He slashed .321/.486/.429 with an RBI, six runs scored and two steals over 14 Grapefruit League games but owns just a .603 OPS over parts of two MLB seasons.

Yankees' Max Schuemann: Traded to Yankees
The Yankees acquired Schuemann from the Athletics in exchange for minor-league RHP Luis Burgos on Monday.

Schuemann has slashed .212/.306/.297 with nine home runs, 47 RBI, 75 runs scored, 21 stolen bases and a 69:154 BB:K across 672 big-league plate appearances since making his MLB debut in 2024.

Athletics' Max Schuemann: Back with big club
The Athletics recalled Schuemann from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
Schuemann was sent down to the minors on Aug. 22 after slashing only .200/.303/.288 in 188 plate appearances, but he's back in the big leagues with the Athletics' active roster expanding to 28 men Monday. The 28-year-old will fill a utility role in September.

Athletics' Max Schuemann: Sent to Triple-A
The A's optioned Schuemann to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.
Schuemann made the Opening Day roster, and he's bounced around the infield as needed while making the occasional start in the outfield. However, with Jacob Wilson (forearm) back from the injured list, the Athletics are no longer in need of Schuemann's services. The 28-year-old has slashed .200/.303/.288 with a 20:33 BB:K in 188 plate appearances this season.
