Schrock (hamstring) was optioned to the Reds' alternate training site Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Schrock was sidelined due to a left hamstring strain to close out Cactus League play, and he was unable to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster. He'll continue his recovery process at the team's alternate training site but could be called up as infield depth at some point in 2021.

Schrock (hamstring) was able to participate in baserunning drills Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schrock's strained left hamstring prevented him from playing in any of the Reds' final six Cactus League games, effectively ending any hope he had of breaking camp with the big club. The 26-year-old infielder still has two minor-league options remaining, so the Reds won't necessarily have to place him on the 10-day injured list to begin the season.

Schrock was claimed off waivers by the Reds on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Schrock will remain in the NL Central after he was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Friday. The 26-year-old appeared in 11 games for St. Louis in 2020, hitting .176 with one solo home run over 17 plate appearances. He should now compete for a depth role with the Reds heading into the 2021 campaign.

Schrock was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Friday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schrock was claimed by the Cubs at the end of October, but he'll be cast off the 40-man roster to make room for several recent acquisitions. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, he could still compete for a roster spot during spring training in 2021.
