Schuemann went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Schuemann has a steal in two of his last three games, though he's hitting a meager .149 (7-for-47) over his last 15 contests. He's maintained a starting role at shortstop, though his .227/.316/.315 slash line for the year is far from impressive. He's added three home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and six thefts across 63 games. Armando Alvarez is Schuemann's biggest threat for playing time until Darell Hernaiz (ankle) can return, which is likely to be after the All-Star break.

Schuemann went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Schuemann supplied a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and an RBI single in the eighth. The 27-year-old has gone 21 games without a multi-hit effort since his 4-for-4 performance in Atlanta on June 1. He was hitting .266 after that game, but he's at .226 now while adding a .630 OPS, three home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and five steals across 61 contests.

Schuemann went 1-for-2 with an RBI double and a sacrifice fly Wednesday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Schuemann hadn't logged an RBI since June 1 and drove in multiple runs for just the third time all season. Still, his productive day could've been even better, but Kyle McCann was called out at home due to runner's interference on Schuemann's second-inning double, preventing an additional RBI. Operating as the Athletics' everyday shortstop, Schuemann is batting 14-for-69 (.203) with a 27.8 percent strikeout rate in June.

Schuemann hit leadoff in both of the Athletics' games against the Twins over the weekend after Abraham Toro's (hamstring) placement on the injured list, going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Schuemann, who went into Saturday's game having reached safely in four straight, may not be long for the top of the order given the results, although manager Mark Kotsay might exhibit some patience. Toro has put together a .240 average and .613 OPS as the leadoff hitter this season, so the standard he's set isn't extraordinarily high by any means. Nevertheless, there are several other candidates Kotsay could turn to for the role, so Schuemann, who's most frequently hit in the No. 7 and No. 9 spots this season, could soon shift back down the order.

Schuemann went 0-for-2 with three walks and a run in a win over the Royals on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Schuemann's busy night on the basepaths surprisingly led to only one run, but it did push his OBP back up to an improving .318. The rookie has hit safely in three of the last four games, and his walk rate has now hit double digits (10.1 percent) after also sitting at that threshold in each of the last six minor-league stops before his promotion.

Schuemann is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with Minnesota, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schuemann will head to the bench after he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Sunday's 6-2 loss in the matinee. Aledmys Diaz will take over at shortstop and bat eighth in the nightcap.

Schuemann is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Schuemann wore the golden sombrero in Wednesday's loss to the Padres, so he will be given the day off Thursday to regroup. Aledmys Diaz will draw the start at shortstop.

Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Athletics fell victim to Kevin Gausman's first career shutout and went down on strikes 10 times against the veteran right-hander, so Schuemann's performance is one that passes for a successful one in that context. The rookie now has singles in back-to-back games and is enjoying a solid June thus far, producing a .348 average and .766 OPS across his first 24 plate appearances of the month (seven games).

Schuemann went 4-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and three runs in a win over Atlanta on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie shortstop was a thorn in the side of Atlanta pitching all night, putting together a stellar night out of the bottom of the order. Schuemann gave his average a 28-point boost to .266 with the multi-hit effort, his third in the last eight contests. He's also scored at least one run in five consecutive games, and his prolific performance Saturday also included his first game over the last eight without a strikeout.
