Schoop went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a slow start for Schoop, who's batting just .182 with a .453 OPS through 15 games, but it was good to see the veteran connect for his first home run of the season. Schoop has been playing more often at first base with Miguel Cabrera (biceps) out, which has left second base open to Niko Goodrum and Willi Castro.

Schoop is not in the lineup Sunday at Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop started at first base Friday, but he'll retreat to the bench Saturday with Miguel Cabrera starting at first and Niko Goodrum taking the keystone. Schoop should still play most days moving forward, but manager A.J. Hinch will find ways to get Goodrum and Harold Castro into the lineup and give Schoop some days off.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop started at second base in Thursday's season opener with Miguel Cabrera playing first, but with Cabrera shifting to designated hitter Saturday, Schoop will get first. There was talk during spring training of Schoop getting some run at third base this season, so it appears he may end up playing three different infield positions in 2021, which could make him a more useful fantasy asset if he picks up additional eligibility beyond second base.

Schoop will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter and will bat cleanup Sunday against the Orioles, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop will be making his 2021 Grapefruit League debut after he was a late arrival to spring training while he worked to resolve visa issues. Though he's currently behind the Tigers' other position players, Schoop will have plenty of time to get back up to full speed ahead of Opening Day. He's expected to begin the season as the Tigers' everyday second baseman, though the 29-year-old said Sunday that he also plans to work out at third base this spring in an attempt to increase his versatility, per Jason Beck of MLB.com.

Schoop has completed intake testing and was cleared to join his teammates Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Many players around the league faced visa issues as they returned to the country for spring training, but Schoop's took among the longest to resolve. He's finally ready to go with just three weeks remaining until Opening Day. Whether that's enough time for him to handle a full workload early in the season remains to be seen.

Schoop has finally made it to Florida following a visa-related delay but still has to go through intake testing before joining his teammates, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Several players around the league dealt with visa issues this spring, but few were delayed as long as Schoop was. He should be able to join team workouts within the next few days, however, giving him roughly three weeks to prepare for Opening Day. Whether or not that's enough time likely depends on how well he was able to stay in shape while away from the team.

Schoop's visa issues remain unresolved, so he's been stuck working out at home in Curacao, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Three of the five Tigers who faced similar issues have made it to Florida, but Schoop isn't one of the lucky ones. It remains unclear when he'll be able to join his teammates. Opening Day is still more than four weeks away, but if Schoop can't join the team soon, he may have some issues getting up to speed by the beginning of the regular season.

Schoop has yet to arrive at camp due to visa issues, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop is one of six Tigers with a delayed arrival for similar reasons. As long as he's able to show up soon, Schoop's preparation for the upcoming season shouldn't be significantly affected.
