Jonathan Schoop (back) is scheduled to begin playing in rehab games on Thursday. Schoop has been on the minor league disabled list since mid-May because of a stress fracture in his back. He'll get started at the Orioles' Gulf Coast League affiliate before eventually working his way back up to Norfolk. The 21-year-old infielder could reach the major league level at some point later this season.
