Schoop went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in a thrashing of the Angels on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop's three-run blast in the second inning was the first of Minnesota's eight homers on the night, and he later contributed a solo shot in the seventh. Remarkably, Schoop now has twice as many two-homer games this season (4) as he does games with just a single home run (2). The talented infielder is slashing .270/.312/.528 with 10 homers and 29 RBI on the year.

Schoop is battling soreness in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury explains why Schoop has been out of the lineup for two straight days. He's considered day-to-day, though the Twins haven't specified a target date for his return.

Schoop sits for the second straight day Monday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
It's possible that Schoop could be dealing with an unreported injury, as he hasn't previously sat for two games in a row this season. He hasn't been on a cold streak, hitting .296 with an .863 OPS over his last seven games. Ehire Adrianza remains in the lineup at second base in his absence.

Schoop is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even with a lefty (Daniel Norris) on the mound for Detroit, the right-handed Schoop will be stuck on the bench in the series finale. Schoop's absence from the lineup is likely just a matter of maintenance after he played both ends of Saturday's doubleheader, going 1-for-7 with an RBI between the two contests.

Schoop went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop took Sam Gaviglio deep in the third inning to record his sixth home run of the season. While it hasn't translated to extensive power production, Schoop has also hit the ball well of late, recording multi-hit efforts in four of his past six games. As a result, he's hitting a strong .284/.331/.526 through 124 plate appearances.

Schoop is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
He'll head to the bench for just the fourth time all season following a stretch of nine consecutive starts. Ehire Adrianza will get the nod at second base in what merely amounts to a rest day for Schoop.

Schoop went 1-for-3 with his fifth home run of the season in Wednesday's win over Houston. His 459-foot homer was the sixth-longest home run by a Twins player since 2015.
EDGE Analysis
After a slow first week, Schoop is hitting .286 with five home runs and a .906 OPS over his last 19 games. While it's just been a little over a month into the season, Schoop is looking more like the player of 2016 and 2017 than last year when he had just a .682 OPS.
