Schoop is on the bench for the third time in four games Tuesday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop is hitting a miserable .157/.189/.196 in 17 games since joining the Brewers. If he keeps hitting like that while playing worse defense at shortstop than Orlando Arcia, expect him to continue finding himself on the bench more often than not. Arcia will start again Tuesday.

Schoop is on the bench for the second straight game Sunday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
There haven't been any reports that Schoop has been battling an injury, but he's given the Brewers plenty of performance-based reasons to leave him on the bench. He's hit just .163/.180/.204 with 19 strikeouts and just one walk in his first 15 games for his new club. Orlando Arcia will start at shortstop for the second straight game.

Schoop is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop will sit for the third time in 12 games since joining the Brewers at the deadline. He's hit just .154 with a .354 OPS for his new team, though the sample is obviously still small. Orlando Arcia will get the start at shortstop, with Hernan Perez starting at second base.

Schoop is not in the lineup for Saturday's game at Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop was the reigning AL Player of the Week for Baltimore when he was acquired by Milwaukee, but is 5-for-34 with a double, two RBI and 16 strikeouts in nine games with his new club. Travis Shaw draws the start at second base for the Brewers.

Schoop went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored Thursday against San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop recorded his first two RBI as a Brewer in the fourth inning after slugging a double to left field. He's collected just four hits with 14 strikeouts in eight games since being traded to Milwaukee, so perhaps Thursday's performance is a sign he's starting to break out of his slump. Through 93 contests in 2018, Schoop is slashing .235/.263/.425.

Schoop is out of the lineup against the Padres on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop will retreat to the bench following six straight starts with the Brewers, during which he's gone just 3-for-25 with no extra-base hits and 11 strikeouts. In his place, Orlando Arcia will start at shortstop and Travis Shaw at second base.

Schoop will bat cleanup and play second base Wednesday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop was dealt from the Orioles to the Brewers prior to Tuesday's trade deadline. After the departure of Jonathan Villar and the demotion of Tyler Saladino, Schoop figures to draw starts all over the infield. He's been extremely hot at the dish of late, homering in seven of his last nine games and compiling a 12-game hitting streak.

Schoop was traded from the Orioles to the Brewers on Tuesday in exchange for Luis Ortiz, Jean Carmona and Jonathan Villar, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Things were complicated enough when the Brewers acquired a second third baseman in Mike Moustakas, shifting Travis Shaw to second base. Now the Brewers acquired Schoop, a second baseman, so for their best lineup to be on the field, at least two players will be playing out of position. Schoop could theoretically play some shortstop, and there could be a bit of a rotation where a couple established players sit once or twice a week. He is hitting .254/.285/.503 with 12 home runs in 197 at-bats since the start of June after getting off to a rough start. This probably hurts Schoop's value slightly, as he will likely get more off days with the Brewers, although the improved lineup context could help him make up for those counting stats. An appealing aspect of this deal for the Brewers is that Schoop is under team control through the 2019 season, so he can act as a placeholder at second base next year until top prospect Keston Hiura is ready.

Schoop went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer Sunday in the 11-5 victory over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Schoop added on to the lead in the seventh inning, putting the Orioles up by six following his 17th homer of the season. He's been on a tear at the dish of late, extending his hitting streak to 12 games. Schoop has blasted seven home runs and driven in 19 over that span.
