Schoop is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop will head to the bench for what appears to be a routine day off following a string of seven consecutive starts. Ehire Adrianza is starting at the keystone and hitting eighth in his stead.

Schoop went 3-for-5 with a pair of homers as the Twins defeated the Orioles 16-7 in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop reached the the seats with a three-run homer off Mike Wright in the fourth inning and added a solo shot off first baseman Chris Davis in the ninth. The homers were Schoop's third and fourth of the season, and he is now batting .271 with 11 RBI this year.

Schoop is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

While starting each of the past three days, Schoop had gone hitless in 11 at-bats to drop his season average to .233. He'll get a day off to clear his head while Ehire Adrianza picks up a rare start at second base.

Schoop went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 14-8 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop hit his first two home runs of the season at Citi Field on Tuesday as the Twins and Mets combined to hit 10 on the evening. The 27-year-old entered the game with only one RBI but is now slashing .250/.344/.500 in 28 at-bats.

Schoop is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop will get his first breather of the season after starting each of the Twins' four contests and going 3-for-13 with an RBI and two runs. Ehire Adrianza will fill in for him at the keystone and hit seventh.

Schoop (hand) will bat seventh in Saturday's game against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop was sporting a wrapping around his right hand in the aftermath of Thursday's Opening Day win, but the day off between games likely resolved any soreness he might have been experiencing. The 27-year-old is expected to handle an everyday role for the Twins all season after he finished the 2018 campaign as a part-time player for the Brewers.

Schoop had his right hand wrapped after Thursday's Opening Day win over the Indians after he was hit in the hand by a pitch during the game, the LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop started at second base and went 0-for-2 with a HBP. He said after the game the injury wasn't serious, but it's possible he may need a day off. Still, the Twins get an off day Friday before playing again Saturday, so he likely won't miss any time.

Schoop went 3-for-3 with his second home run of the spring in Wednesday's loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop had a slow start to spring training, but looks set for the regular season as he's hitting .303 with a .976 OPS. He's likely to hit seventh in the order. He's a bounce-back candidate as the Twins say they spotted a flaw in his swing after he altered his approach last May to compensate for an oblique injury.

Schoop hit seventh in the lineup in Monday's spring training win over Boston in what was likely a dress rehearsal for Opening Day, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop is hitting .242 with one home run and a .699 OPS in 33 AB this spring. He's a bounce-back candidate as the Twins say they spotted a flaw in his swing after he altered his approach last May to compensate for an oblique injury. Hitting seventh in the order isn't great news for his fantasy value, but he may move up the order if he returns to his pre-2018 production at the plate.

Schoop hit second in the lineup and started at second base, but went 0-for-3 Saturday in his spring training debut for the Twins. Schoop says he's improved his swing at the plate after the Twins noticed a change last year where he was compensating for an oblique injury, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schoop was sidelined a month at the start of last season after suffering an oblique injury in early May. It sounds like the Twins spotted a flaw in his swing that may have been due to compensating for the injury. That gives some hope that he can bounce back from a disappointing season where he had just a .682 OPS and struggled in the second half after being traded to Milwaukee (.577 OPS with the Brewers).
