Jonathan Schoop (back) went 4-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBI on Thursday in his final rehab game with Short-Season Aberdeen.
The 21-year-old second baseman is ready to rejoin Triple-A Norfolk after missing over two months with a stress fracture in his back. Schoop tore the cover off the ball during his 11-game rehab assignment, batting .436 (17-for-39) with five home runs, 17 RBI and 7/7 K/BB. Prior to the injury, he was batting .268/.331/.386 with nine extra-base hits and 25/9 K/BB in 34 games for Norfolk. Even though he's missed significant time this year, Schoop could still find himself in the major leagues by the end of the season.
