Schoop went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a sacrifice fly in a 9-1 win over the Rays on Saturday.
Schoop picked up his eighth home run of the season as part of a three-RBI performance. However, the home run came off an eephus pitch from position player Yu Chang, who was brought in to pitch after the Rays basically conceded the game. Schoop remains ice cold and is slashing .195/.234/.299 over the past 30 days. The 30-year-old second baseman is on pace for the worst full season of his career.

Tigers' Jonathan Schoop: Blasts seventh home run
Rotowire
Schoop went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Schoop and Willi Castro each hit solo home runs, but the Detroit offense was fairly stagnant otherwise. It's been a disappointing season for Schoop, who now has seven home runs and a .560 OPS. The veteran blasted 22 home runs and registered a .755 OPS last year. His current OPS would be the worst of his 10-year MLB career.

Tigers' Jonathan Schoop: Scores twice Tuesday
Rotowire
Schoop went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Royals.

However, the veteran has been much better this month with a .370 average and nine runs scored across 12 games. Schoop has proven himself a capable hitter at the MLB level in the past, so he may be able to sustain some success down the stretch.

Tigers' Jonathan Schoop: Sitting Game 1 on Monday
Rotowire
Schoop is not in the starting lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals.
Schoop will get a breather after he went 12-for-29 with a double, an RBI, seven runs and four stolen bases over the last eight games. Harold Castro will take over at second base and bat third in Game 1.
Schoop went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Thursday in a 2-1 victory over Chicago.
Schoop singled and stole second in the second inning. It was the third straight game he swiped a bag. The sudden outburst of speed is a bit surprising for the 30-year-old as he's never stolen more than two bases in any previous season. The second baseman has turned it on in July, going 11-for-27 with a double and four stolen bases.

Tigers' Jonathan Schoop: Steals base, scores in win
Rotowire
Schoop went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Guardians.
Schoop now has stolen bases in consecutive contests, giving him four steals for the season. That's double his previous career best, so speed has never been a huge part of the veteran's game. Schoop has gotten off to a hot start in July, batting .435 across six games, and the steals are boosting his fantasy value even further.

Tigers' Jonathan Schoop: Nabs third steal
Rotowire
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. Schoop has only one multi-hit performance during this stretch, however, so his batting average isn't climbing very rapidly.

That effort included his fifth home run of the season, and he boosted his RBI total to 14. Schoop will need more games like this to improve his .189 batting average, though he's done better lately with an even .300 average over his past 10 contests.

Rotowire
Schoop went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple and a run scored in Monday's win over the Twins.

The veteran infielder is batting .303 across his past eight games with a home run, two RBI and six runs scored. Schoop is a career .258 hitter, so he figures to keep trending upward after a slow start to the year.
