Jun 21 2025Schneider went 2-for-3 with a walk and three RBI in Saturday's 7-1 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider was a late addition to the Blue Jays' lineup after Addison Barger was scratched due to a hip injury. Schneider took advantage of the opportunity, driving in an RBI single in the second inning before tacking on two more runs on a double in the eighth. It was his first multi-RBI game of the season, and he is slashing .190/.358/.286 with one home run and five RBI across 53 plate appearances this season. Schneider could be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale if Barger is not cleared to return.
Jun 15 2025Schneider is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Zack Wheeler on the bump for the Phillies, Schneider will head back to the bench after starting the last three games, all of which came against left-handed pitching. He'll continue serving as a short-side platoon player while up with the big club.
Jun 4 2025Schneider went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider was able to get the Blue Jays on the board with a solo home run off Cristopher Sanchez in the fifth inning. Schneider began the season going 1-for-15 at the plate while striking out eight times before he was demoted April 17. He's now tallied three hits in six at-bats since being recalled Sunday from Triple-A Buffalo.
Jun 1 2025The Blue Jays recalled Schneider from Triple-A Buffalo, and he will start at second base and bat seventh Sunday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old will fill the roster spot of Daulton Varsho, who landed on the injured list due to a hamstring strain. Schneider had a .625 OPS in 135 big-league games in 2024 and has gone 1-for-15 in 10 games with Toronto this season.
May 31 2025The Blue Jays are expected to recall Schneider from Triple-A Buffalo ahead of Sunday's game against the Athletics, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Daulton Varsho exited Saturday's game against the Athletics with a left hamstring injury, and Schneider appears to be the man coming up to provide outfield depth. Schneider appeared in 10 games for Toronto earlier in the season but logged a .400 OPS across 21 trips to the plate. At Triple-A, Schneider has slashed .226/.346/.391 with four home runs, 18 RBI, 17 runs scored and three stolen bases.
Apr 17 2025The Blue Jays optioned Schneider to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider has gotten off to a poor start this season, going just 1-for-15 with eight strikeouts through his first 10 games. The Jays will now send him down to the minors in an effort to help him rediscover his swing, and he will likely be invited back to Toronto once he does so.
Mar 22 2025Schneider was officially named to the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: By slashing .345/.500/.655 with five RBI and six runs scored over 38 plate appearances this spring, Schneider certainly made it difficult for Toronto to deny him a roster spot. He's likely to come off the bench most days, though his ability to play in left field as well as second and third base improves his chances of cracking the starting nine on any given day.
Mar 7 2025Schneider went 2-for-2 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He went back-to-back with Ernie Clement in the second inning off Cooper Criswell. It was Schneider's first long ball of the spring, but he's been locked in at the plate in camp when given an opportunity, going 5-for-13 with a 7:4 BB:K in 20 plate appearances. The 26-year-old doesn't have a clear starting spot in the lineup after managing a mediocre .625 OPS with a 31.7 percent strikeout rate in 2024, and he'll have trouble repeating his 454 PAs following the offseason additions of players like Anthony Santander and Andres Gimenez. Schneider's best path to playing time this season could come as a short-side platoon option in left field and at second base.
Sep 23 2024Schneider is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider finds himself out of the lineup for the second game in a row -- both against right-handed starting pitchers -- after he had started each of the previous seven contests. Nathan Lukes will get the nod in left field for the Blue Jays in the series opener.
Sep 22 2024Schneider is absent from the lineup for Sunday's contest in Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's a day off for Schneider, who had started each of the previous seven games. Joey Loperfido is handling left field for the Blue Jays in Sunday's matinee.
Sep 19 2024Schneider will start in left field and bat fifth in Thursday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider will stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row, with four of his starts during that stretch coming against right-handed pitchers. With Bo Bichette (finger) joining Daulton Varsho (shoulder) and Will Wagner (knee) on the injured list with season-ending injuries, Schneider could see near-everyday playing time over the final week of the 2024 campaign. Schneider is batting just .201 on the season but has picked up the pace lately, as he's gone 8-for-23 (.348 average) with three home runs, one triple, nine RBI and five runs over his last six games.
Sep 17 2024Schneider went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 13-8 loss to the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider has now posted multiple hits in three straight games, and each of those contests has seen him homer. This power surge comes after he went 54 games without a long ball. The 25-year-old is up to 13 homers, 46 RBI, 46 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .203/.291/.366 slash line through 125 contests this season. Schneider figures to be part of a group of players who will help cover for the absence of Daulton Varsho (shoulder) over the remainder of the campaign.
Sep 14 2024Schneider went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old utility player took Kyle Gibson deep for a solo shot in the third inning, snapping a 54-game homer drought that stretched back to June 23. Saturday's multi-hit effort was also his first since July 21. Schneider has mostly failed to re-capture the magic of his 35-game debut from 2023, and through 123 contests this season he's slashing a meager .197/.287/.346 with 11 homers, six steals, 42 RBI and 43 runs.
Aug 12 2024Schneider is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Angels, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider will take a seat after he went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and two strikeouts in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Athletics. Will Wagner will make his major-league debut and draw the start at second base, batting sixth against Los Angeles.
Aug 10 2024Schneider isn't in Toronto's lineup for Saturday's game versus the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider will take a seat Saturday after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Friday's series opener. His absence will put Spencer Horwitz at second base and create an opportunity for Addison Barger to start in right field.
Aug 8 2024Schneider isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider will sit down for the second time in Toronto's last three games after going just 2-for-18 with seven strikeouts across his last five contests. Spencer Horwitz will cover second base instead, and a spot in the lineup will open up for Addison Barger to start in right field while batting eighth.
Aug 6 2024Schneider is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After making four consecutive starts, Schneider will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. The 25-year-old has settled into a regular role at second base after the Blue Jays' moves at the trade deadline. However, it'll be Leo Jimenez playing the keystone Tuesday.
Jul 29 2024Schneider will start in left field and bat cleanup in the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting at second base and going 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in the Blue Jays' 11-5 loss in Game 1, Schneider will stick in the starting nine for the nightcap. He's now picked up eight starts in the Blue Jays' last 10 contests, and he should have a path to a regular spot in the lineup after Justin Turner was traded to the Mariners earlier Tuesday.
Jul 22 2024Schneider went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old utility player has yet to be caught stealing this season in four attempts, with his last pilfer coming May 22. Schneider has started to pick his pace back up at the plate, going 7-for-19 (.368) while starting six of the last nine games, but all seven knocks have been singles and he's added just one RBI and three runs.
Jul 7 2024Schneider is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the second straight game on the bench for Schneider after he started the previous three games. The 25-year-old hasn't produced much at the plate recently and has gone 3-for-29 with 12 strikeouts in his last 12 contests. Daulton Varsho is manning left field Sunday while Kevin Kiermaier starts in center.
Jul 6 2024Schneider isn't in Toronto's lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider has gone just 2-for-17 with six strikeouts over his last seven games and will get a chance to regroup while he sits out Saturday's game. In the meantime, Daulton Varsho, Kevin Kiermaier and George Springer will start across the Blue Jays' outfield.
Jun 30 2024Schneider is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scheider has a .165/.221/.304 slash line through 25 games in June and will hit the bench Sunday after going 1-for-14 over his past six contests. Daulton Varsho will shift to left field while Kevin Kiermaier receives a start in center.
Jun 28 2024Schneider is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Spencer Horwitz will handle second base and Addison Barger will be in left field for the Blue Jays. Schneider is hitting just .171/.229/.316 in June.
Jun 25 2024Schneider is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider is 4-for-26 across his last seven games (.153) and will get a breather Tuesday. Instead, Addison Barger will fill left field and bat sixth.
Jun 22 2024Schneider went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider has gone 7-for-28 (.250) with three homers over his last eight games. He's usually hit leadoff this season, but he was dropped to sixth in the order Saturday, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa moving up to the top spot and slugging two homers of his own. Schneider's .227 batting average isn't great for a leadoff hitter, though his .319 on-base percentage is a bit more passable. He's added 10 homers, 35 RBI, 32 runs scored, three stolen bases and 15 doubles over 251 plate appearances. While he could ultimately stick lower in the order, Schneider's short-term playing time should be safe after Daulton Varsho left Saturday's contest with back soreness.
Jun 19 2024Schneider is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider will retreat to the bench after he started in each of the past three games while going 2-for-12 with a solo home run, a double and two walks. With Schneider out of the lineup, the Blue Jays will open up a spot in the outfield for Kevin Kiermaier, who will be flanked by Daulton Varsho in left field and George Springer in right field.
Jun 18 2024Schneider went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old took Nick Pivetta deep in the seventh inning, but Toronto was in a 7-2 hole at that point. Schneider has been struggling in June, slashing .170/.224/.302 through 16 games, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him moved down in the order from his usual spot hitting first or second. On the season, he's batting .225 with nine homers, three steals, 31 runs and 34 RBI in 65 contests.
Jun 15 2024Schneider is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Guardians, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider will take a seat after he went 3-for-8 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored over the team's last two contests. Daulton Varsho will slot in at left field while Kevin Kiermaier (knee) returns to the lineup in center field and bats ninth against Cleveland.
Jun 11 2024Schneider is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It marks two games out of the last three that Schneider's name has been missing from the lineup card. Daulton Varsho will be in left field for the Blue Jays while Spencer Horwitz handles second base and hits leadoff.
Jun 9 2024Schneider is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider started the previous 14 games but will sit Sunday amid a 3-for-23 slump. Spencer Horwitz will step in at second base and bat leadoff in the series finale at Oakland.
Jun 1 2024Schneider went 1-for-6 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old was having a tough night, striking out three times in his first five trips to the plate -- including in the 10th inning with the potential winning run at third base and one out -- but Schneider redeemed himself when he got hold of a 98.1 mph fastball from Kyle Nicolas in the 14th inning and launched it over the right-field fence. Schneider has scored a run in five straight games, taking advantage of his placement at the top of the order, but he's also been a consistent run producer of late, recording at least one RBI in seven of the last nine games. On the season, Schneider is slashing .245/.354/.470 with seven homers, three steals, 25 runs and 29 RBI in 49 contests.
May 29 2024Schneider went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one walk, three RBI and one run in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider batted leadoff for the 10th time in 11 games and provided a spark atop the lineup as Toronto took home its second win in a row. Overall, Schneider has posted an .819 OPS in 13 starts as a leadoff man this season, and so long as he continues to excel in that capacity, he should stick as the Blue Jays' table setter even as George Springer is beginning to emerge from his season-long slumber.
May 27 2024Schneider went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 5-1 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Monday's home run was Schneider's first since May 18. Over that span, the 25-year-old has batted just .194 with seven RBI and five runs scored. Even so, Schneider has batted leadoff in eight of the last nine games for the Blue Jays and should continue to see everyday at bats. On the season, he's slashing .241/.350/.453 with six home runs, 24 RBI and 22 runs scored.
May 24 2024Schneider is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider will get his first break from the field since May 4 as Toronto looks to win their second straight against the Tigers. Cavan Biggio will get the start at second base and bat seventh in place of Schneider.
May 22 2024Schneider went 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 9-2 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider's two-run single sparked a seven-run rally for the Blue Jays in the second inning. The second baseman is up to three steals on the year, all of which have come since May 5. He's added .246/.345/.451 slash line with five home runs, 19 RBI, 20 runs scored and 10 doubles across 142 plate appearances. Schneider has hit leadoff in five straight games, with four of those games against a right-handed starting pitcher.
May 8 2024Schneider will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Kevin Kiermaier's return from the injured list Saturday was expected to cost Schneider some playing time, but the latter player will end up making his third straight start Wednesday. The previous two starts came in left field, but Schneider will man the keystone in the series finale in Philadelphia while the lefty-hitting Cavan Biggio heads to the bench against right-hander Aaron Nola. Schneider holds a 201-point edge in OPS over Biggio for the season (.822 to .621), so the Blue Jays could be motivated to give Schneider an extended look at second base while he's swinging the hotter bat of the two.
Apr 24 2024Schneider is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he'll hit the bench after drawing starts in the past three games, Schneider's playing time should trend up after Kevin Kiermaier (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Triple-A Buffalo call-up Addison Barger will end up replacing Kiermaier in the outfield Wednesday, but expect him to fill more of a utility role while he's up with Toronto, which would enable Schneider to get regular reps in left field. Schneider is batting just .216 through 51 at-bats this season, but he's made his 11 hits count with three home runs and two doubles.
Apr 22 2024Schneider went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schneider went deep off Joe Musgrove in the second inning for this first home run since April 2 and later plated another run in the seventh on a groundout. Sunday's home run was also Schneider's first extra-base hit since April 12, and he's now slashing .227/.292/.477 with three homers, 10 RBI, seven runs and a 3:12 BB:K in 48 plate appearances.
