• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Logs steal in loss

  Rotowire Jun 15, 2025

  Schneemann went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners. Schneemann spent a large portion of the week on the bench due to a run of opposing left-handed pitchers, but he's been back in the lineup at second base against a pair of Seattle right-handers. The infielder has gone 7-for-24 (.292) over seven contests in June, logging three steals and two RBI in that span. For the season, he's at a .248/.333/.436 slash line with five steals, seven home runs, 18 RBI, 21 runs scored and seven doubles over 169 plate appearances while primarily serving in a strong-side platoon role.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: First start in five games

  Rotowire Jun 14, 2025

  Schneemann started at second base and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 7-2 loss to Seattle. Schneemann made his first start in five games, and Friday marked the first time in five games that the Guardians faced a right-hander. He's doing better against righties (.802 OPS) than southpaws (.526), so he should continue to serve on the strong side of a platoon, though Schneemann has recently struggled, going 14-for-72 (.194) over his last 23 contests.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Losing out on starts vs. lefties

  Rotowire Jun 11, 2025

  Schneemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. The left-handed-hitting Schneemann has posted a .526 OPS against southpaws this season, and he could find himself on the bench more frequently versus same-handed pitching now that the Guardians are back to full strength in the infield and outfield. He'll give way to Angel Martinez at second base Wednesday while the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the bump.

  Rotowire Jun 4, 2025

  Schneemann went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Yankees. Schneemann extended the Guardians' lead to 3-0 in the first inning with a two-run double before swiping third base for his fourth steal in five attempts this season. It's the first multi-hit game since May 6 for Schneemann -- he entered Wednesday with a .188 average (12-for-64) in his previous 21 games. Overall, the 28-year-old Schneemann is slashing .254/.338/.463 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 19 runs scored across 152 plate appearances this season while serving as Cleveland's primary second baseman.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Taking seat for series finale

  Rotowire May 25, 2025

  Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers. Schneemann was included in the lineup the last time the Guardians faced a southpaw starter (Andrew Abbott) back on May 18, but the 28-year-old will retreat to the bench in Detroit while Tarik Skubal takes the hill. With Lane Thomas' recent return from the injured list giving Cleveland an extra right-handed bat in the outfield, utility player Angel Martinez could end up serving as a platoon partner for Schneemann at second base.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Swipes bag in win

  Rotowire May 24, 2025

  Schneemann went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Saturday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Tigers. Schneemann has hit safely in seven of his last 10 games, going 7-for-30 (.233) in that span. He's carved out a starting role, primarily at second base, since Brayan Rocchio was sent down to Triple-A Columbus, but Schneemann's bat has cooled off a bit after a stronger start to the month. Overall, he's at a .255/.339/.464 slash line with six home runs, five doubles, one steal, 13 RBI and 16 runs scored across 125 plate appearances.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Starter at second base

  Rotowire May 13, 2025

  Schneemann started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 5-0 win over the Brewers. Schneemann's hot bat since the beginning of May generated more plate appearances for him, and shortstop Brayan Rocchio's demotion to the minors Monday opened up a regular gig. Gabriel Arias will cover short, while Schneemann gets regular starts at second base. Since May 1, Schneemann has a 1.101 OPS with three home runs, two doubles, eight RBI and eight runs scored over 10 contests.

  Rotowire May 7, 2025

  Schneemann entered Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader as a pinch hitter and went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 9-1 win over the Nationals. Schneemann pinch hit for third baseman Will Wilson and stayed in the game at second base. The home run was the third in the last four games and fifth overall for Schneemann, who has raked since mid-April. After opening the season with one hit in his first 19 at-bats, he's followed up by slashing .383/.442/.745 with nine extra-base hits, 10 RBI, five walks and 10 runs scored over 53 plate appearances.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Plays hero with late-inning homers

  Rotowire May 3, 2025

  Schneemann went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays. Getting the start at second base and batting sixth with Jose Ramirez (ankle) needing the day off, Schneemann did his best J-Ram impression in his place. With the Guardians down 3-0 heading into the eighth inning, the 28-year-old utility player took Chad Green for a solo shot before launching a grand slam off Yimi Garcia in the ninth. Schneemann has seen his playing time pick up in recent weeks and has taken advantage, and he's now slashing .276/.344/.552 through 24 games with four homers, eight runs and nine RBI.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Enters for injured teammate

  Rotowire May 3, 2025

  Schneemann entered Friday's game as a pinch runner for Jose Ramirez (ankle) and stayed in the game. He went 1-for-1 with a double and a run scored. Schneemann replaced Ramirez on first base in the third inning and remained in game at second base while Gabriel Arias moved from second to third. The Guardians have described Ramirez's injury has a minor-grade sprain, which makes it sound like he won't miss much time.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Gaining foothold in everyday lineup

  Rotowire Apr 30, 2025

  Schneemann will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Twins. At least temporarily, Schneemann seems to have supplanted the struggling Brayan Rocchio for a regular spot in Cleveland's middle infield. For the second straight day, Rocchio finds himself on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Pablo Lopez), while Schneemann has now been included in the lineup in five of the last six matchups with righties. According to Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, manager Stephen Vogt implied the hotter bat is Schneemann, who is slashing .379/.419/.586 dating back to April 13.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Doubles, scores in loss

  Rotowire Apr 13, 2025

  Schneemann went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Royals. Schneemann was involved in a "little-league home run" in the second inning when his run-producing double led to an errant throw, allowing him to score. The double snapped an 0-for-15 run for Schneeman, who has just two hits and is batting .091.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Enters mid-game

  Rotowire Apr 9, 2025

  Schneemann entered Tuesday's 1-0 win over the White Sox after center fielder Lane Thomas (wrist) was removed. After Thomas took a pitch off his right wrist, Schneemann entered as the pinch runner. When Schneemann's first plate appearance came around in the seventh inning, manager Stephen Vogt sent up pinch hitter Jhonkensy Noel. It's unclear how Vogt will manage the position if Thomas is unavailable for a period of time. Schneemann is 1-for-12 with six strikeouts through six games this season.

• Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: On bench again Monday

  Rotowire Sep 2, 2024

  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.
