Schoop signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal to return to Detroit on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop has been roughly a league-average hitter over the course of his eight-year career, though he finished above that level in his first season as a Tiger last year, hitting .278/.324/.475, good for a 114 wRC+. Assuming he's in the lineup for most of Detroit's games (which shouldn't be too hard given the rebuilding team's roster), he'll have a good chance to reach 20 homers, something he did in each season from 2016 to 2019.

Schoop (wrist) was transferred to the 45-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The move ends Schoop's season, as he'd only just hit the 10-day injured list one week prior. It's not clear if his wrist sprain is worse than originally feared or if he simply wasn't going to have time to return before the end of the week. Brandon Dixon was recalled in a corresponding move.

Schoop was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right wrist sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Niko Goodrum was reinstated in a corresponding move, so Schoop's at-bats will essentially go to Goodrum moving forward. The move is retroactive to Sept. 13, so Schoop could theoretically return on Sept. 23 if he requires the minimum stay.

Schoop was held out Sunday due to hamstring and wrist soreness, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop wasn't in Sunday's lineup as a result of his soreness, and he'll get an extra day to recover Monday as the Tigers have a scheduled day off. Manager Ron Gardenhire didn't sound too concerned about the issues, and he should return to action soon.

Schoop is not in Sunday's lineup against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
He has cooled off a bit, hitting .209 with zero home runs in 43 at-bats this month. Sergio Alcantara will start at second base and bat ninth.

Schoop (wrist) is starting at second base and batting second Wednesday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
He left Tuesday's game after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch, but X-rays were negative and he was expected to be right back in the lineup for Wednesday's day game. Schoop is hitting .281 with one home run in his last 10 games.

Schoop (wrist) had X-rays come back negative and is expected to be in the lineup Wednesday against the Brewers, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old exited Tuesday's contest after being hit by a pitch on his right wrist, but he may not miss any additional time. Schoop is 7-for-27 with two triples, a double and three RBI through eight games in September.

Schoop was removed from Tuesday's game against the Brewers after being hit by a pitch on his right wrist, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old struck out in his first plate appearance before getting hit by the pitch his second time up. Schoop's preliminary diagnosis is a right wrist contusion, and he should be considered day-to-day until the team provides another update.

Schoop went 2-for-5 with a triple, double, two runs and an RBI in Sunday's 10-8 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The two extra-base hits matched Schoop's total from his previous nine games combined. Even after the recent lull in terms of power production, Schoop is still sporting a career-best .883 OPS on the season while scoring 24 runs and driving in 22 over his 37 games. He'll remain in the lineup for Monday's series finale in Minnesota, manning the keystone and batting second.

Schoop went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop has arguably been Detroit's best offensive player this season, as the veteran now has eight home runs, 19 RBI and an .870 OPS through 31 games. He should continue to bat in a prominent lineup spot and produce good counting stats the rest of the way.
