Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Makes impact in doubleheader
Rotowire
Schneemann went 2-for-8 with a double, a solo home run, a stolen base and a second run scored across both games of Friday's doubleheader split with the White Sox.
The utility infielder started at second base in both contests, swatting his ninth homer of the season in the matinee before swiping his sixth bag in the nightcap. Schneemann's playing time could be in jeopardy after the All-Star break, however, if Lane Thomas (foot) is ready to come off the IL and bump Angel Martinez back to the infield -- Martinez is red hot at the plate, while Schneemann hasn't had a multi-hit performance since June 25 and is slashing a meager .105/.190/.211 over his last 14 games.

Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Paves way for win with home run
Rotowire
Schneemann went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday in a 4-2 win against San Francisco.
Schneemann had the biggest hit of the night for either team with his three-run blast off Justin Verlander in the fourth inning. The long ball was his first extra-base hit since he rapped two doubles against the Yankees on June 4. Schneemann remains in a strong-side platoon role -- he regularly rests against lefty starters -- which dings his fantasy value despite a relatively promising campaign that includes a .775 OPS, eight homers, 21 RBI, 22 runs and five stolen bases through 56 games.

Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Logs steal in loss
Rotowire
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
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: Three hits, stolen base in win
Rotowire
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
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
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
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.

Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Plays hero with late-inning homers
Rotowire
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
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
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: Solo shot against Baltimore
Rotowire
Schneemann went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Orioles.
Schneemann got the Guardians on the board in the third inning when he took the first pitch he saw from Tomoyuki Sugano deep to center field for a 395-foot solo homer. It was Schneemann's second home run of the season, and the 28-year-old has gone 5-for-11 with one homer and two RBI over his last three games.

Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Enters mid-game
Rotowire
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
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: Taking seat Friday
Rotowire
Schneemann is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.
