Schuemann will start at third base and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Schuemann has the ability to play all over the infield and outfield, but with the Athletics having enjoyed generally good health so far this season from their position players, the 27-year-old utility man hasn't been able to pick up meaningful playing time. He'll be starting Thursday for just the third time in the Athletics' first 19 games.

Schuemann appears likely to win a roster spot in a utility role with the A's, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. He's hitting .227 (5-for-22) in nine games this spring.

EDGE Analysis

Schuemann made his big-league debut in 2024 with the A's and posted a .220/.311/.308 slash line with seven home runs and 14 steals in 133 games. He saw most of his playing time at shortstop, but Jacob Wilson appears set as the starting shortstop. Schuemann could be good source of speed (14 steals last season) if he finds significant playing time.

Schuemann is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Schuemann has slashed .141/.191/.188 with three runs scored and three RBI over 68 plate appearances since Sept. 1. Darell Hernaiz will start at third base Friday and bat ninth.

Schuemann isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Schuemann will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going 0-for-10 with three strikeouts across his last four games. Darell Hernaiz will fill the opening at third base and bat ninth while Schuemann rests.

Schuemann isn't in Oakland's lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Southpaw Carlos Rodon will toe the slab for New York on Saturday, meaning the left-handed bat of Schuemann won't be part of Oakland's starting nine. Nick Allen will replace him at the hot corner while batting ninth.

Schuemann is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Schuemann manned third base for the Athletics in each of the previous five games, but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Nick Allen will handle the hot corner and bat ninth.

Schuemann is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Schuemann started both of the first two games of the series and reached base four times, but he'll get a breather for Thursday's matinee. Nick Allen will cover third base and bat ninth for the Athletics.

Schuemann went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Schuemann has posted just four multi-hit efforts since the start of August, batting a meager .162 (17-for-105) in that span. While the rookie hasn't played particularly well of late, Wednesday's performance was an exception -- he avoided striking out for the first time in eight games. Schuemann is now at a .224/.315/.315 slash line with 14 steals, seven home runs, 34 RBI, 52 runs scored and 12 doubles over 121 contests. The Athletics' infield is full of right-handed hitters, so Schuemann is likely to continue seeing steady playing time at third base down the stretch.

Schuemann isn't in Oakland's lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Schuemann will take a seat Saturday after going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Friday's series opener. His absence will move Tristan Gray to third base while Seth Brown covers first, allowing Daz Cameron to pick up a start in left field.

Schuemann went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie recorded his 12th steal of the campaign after getting plunked in the ninth inning, and he subsequently came around to score on Lawrence Butler's double. Schuemann drew another start at third base while Jacob Wilson filled in at shortstop Friday, and the first-year duo looks poised to remain in that arrangement on most days down the stretch.
