Schoop went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and two runs Tuesday in the Tigers' 11-4 win over the Guardians.
The stolen base was Schoop's third of the season, establishing a new career-high total in the category for the 10-year veteran. After a rough finish to June, Schoop looked to be in danger of moving into a part-time role, but he's gotten off to a hot start to July to entrench himself as the Tigers' everyday second baseman. Through five games this month, Schoop has gone 9-for-19 with a double, a walk, two stolen bases, five runs and an RBI. He'll man the keystone and bat fifth in Wednesday's series finale.

Tigers' Jonathan Schoop: Stays hot in nightcap
Rotowire
Schoop went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI on Monday in the Tigers' 5-3 win over the Guardians in the second half of a doubleheader.
Schoop was the standout performer of the Tigers' sweep of the twin bill, as he finished the day 6-for-8 with a stolen base, three runs and an RBI while picking up starts in both contests. The big day was much needed for Schoop, who had produced six hits combined over his previous nine contests. He's still sitting on a lowly .207/.238/.323 slash line for the season, but Monday's performance likely bought him some extra security in an everyday role.

Tigers' Jonathan Schoop: Goes deep Tuesday
Rotowire
Schoop went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.
Schoop is still hitting just .196 this season, though he's been a bit better lately. The veteran has hits in four straight games and seven of the last eight.

Despite the sluggish stats, Schoop is worth keeping an eye on after he hit .278 last season for the Tigers with 22 home runs and 78 RBI.
Schoop is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Rotowire

That effort included his fifth home run of the season, and he boosted his RBI total to 14.

Tigers' Jonathan Schoop: Productive in Monday loss
Rotowire
Schoop went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and two runs scored in Monday's loss to the Twins.
It's been a struggle this season for Schoop, who is still batting just .169 with a .501 OPS, though he had a nice game at one of his former home ballparks, Target Field. This was the veteran's first multi-hit effort since May 10 and just his third overall this year. Perhaps the extra-base knocks will start to get Schoop going at the plate.

Tigers' Jonathan Schoop: Struggles continue Saturday
Rotowire
Schoop went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's win over the Dodgers.
It's been a struggle this season for Schoop, who is batting just .145 with a .399 OPS. The veteran batted sixth Saturday and has slipped down to seventh in the order at times, so the Tigers are trying to get him going in a less prominent spot. Schoop did bat .278 each of the last two seasons, and he supplied 22 home runs and 84 RBI in 2021, so he'll likely get things going at some point based on his track record in the majors.

Rotowire
Schoop will start at second base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Hinch has elected to make big changes to the lineup for the series opener in Minnesota, as Jeimer Candelario and Schoop will both be dropped two spots in the order from the Nos. 4 and 5 positions, respectively. Schoop enters Tuesday with a three-game hitting streak, but he's still slashing a lowly .155/.210/.241 with five RBI and four runs over 15 games this season.

Tigers' Jonathan Schoop: Appears destined for second
Rotowire
With Spencer Torkelson making the Opening Day roster, per Jason Beck of MLB.com, Schoop will likely serve as the Tigers' primary second baseman this season.
Schoop primarily worked at first base for the Tigers in 2021, but that's where Torkelson will be playing in 2022. That should shift Schoop back to the keystone, where he's played plenty in his nine-year MLB career. The veteran is coming off a solid season in which he provided 22 home runs and 84 RBI, and he should be a solid fantasy asset in the middle infield this year.
