Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Drives in four in rout
Rotowire
Schneider went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, an additional run scored and four total RBI in Saturday's 14-2 win over the Rangers.
The 26-year-old utility player capped his big day with a three-run shot off position player Rowdy Tellez in the seventh inning. Schneider kept his roster spot when George Springer was activated from the IL, but he's still likely headed for a downturn in playing time despite batting .414 (12-for-29) through nine games in August with two doubles, three homers, seven runs and 12 RBI.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Sitting against right-hander
Rotowire
Schneider is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
While the Blue Jays went up against left-handed starting pitchers in the previous three contests, Schneider led off in each of those games and went a collective 4-for-13 with two home runs, one double, one walk and four RBI. Schneider should remain a regular in the lineup against lefties, but he'll retreat to the bench Sunday while right-hander Tyler Glasnow toes the rubber for the Dodgers.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Homers twice vs. Colorado
Rotowire
Schneider went 3-for-7 with two home runs, a double and four total RBI in Wednesday's 20-1 win over the Rockies.

The 26-year-old Schneider has racked up four extra-base hits in his last two games after going just 4-for-20 with no extra-base knocks in his previous nine contests. Overall, Schneider is slashing a respectable .239/.368/.469 with seven homers, 21 RBI and 20 runs scored across 136 plate appearances this season.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Goes yard in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Schneider went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the A's.
In a wild fifth-inning at-bat, Schneider launched a long fly down the left-field line that was ruled foul. When the call was upheld on review, Blue Jays manager John Schneider -- no relation -- got ejected, only for Schneider the player to then crush the first pitch he saw after play resumed over the fence in left-center field, a homer which ruined the perfect game Jeffrey Springs had going. Since the beginning of July, the 26-year-old utility player has hit .250 (7-for-28) with four of his five home run on the season, and six of his 11 RBI.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Idle Wednesday
Rotowire
Schneider is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
After a stretch of seven consecutive starts, Schneider has now hit the bench in two of the Blue Jays' last three contests, with both of his absences from the lineup coming against right-handed pitchers. Schneider should be locked into a regular spot in the starting nine versus lefties, but left-handed hitters Joey Loperfido and Will Wagner could be prioritized ahead of Schneider when the Blue Jays face righties.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Hitting bench Monday
Rotowire
Schneider is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.
Schneider will hit the bench for the series opener in Chicago after he had started in each of the past seven games while going 7-for-22 with two home runs, one double, one walk, five runs and four RBI. With Andres Gimenez (ankle) recently joining Daulton Varsho (hamstring) and Anthony Santander (shoulder) on the injured list, Schneider will likely be in store for at least a semi-regular role with Toronto until the team reclaims some health.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Playing time trending up
Rotowire
Schneider will start in left field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Angels.
Schneider will remain in the lineup for the seventh game in a row, with five of his starts coming in left field and two at second base. Bo Bichette recently returned from a four-game absence due to a knee injury, but Toronto placed Andres Gimenez (ankle) on the injured list Sunday, so there should still be playing time available, even if Schneider will likely split opportunities at the keystone with Leo Jimenez and Will Wagner. Since being recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on June 1, Schneider has produced a .255/.367/.471 slash line with three home runs, seven RBI and 10 runs in 19 games.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Drives in three runs
Rotowire
Schneider went 2-for-3 with a walk and three RBI in Saturday's 7-1 win over the White Sox.
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.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Ticketed for return to majors
Rotowire
The 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.
Daulton Varsho exited Saturday's game due to 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.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Called up, in lineup Sunday
Rotowire
The Blue Jays recalled Schneider from Triple-A Buffalo, and he will start at second base and bat seventh Sunday against the Athletics.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Relegated to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Blue Jays optioned Schneider to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.
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.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Lands Opening Day roster spot
Rotowire
Schneider was officially named to the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
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.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Belts first homer of spring
Rotowire
Schneider went 2-for-2 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.
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.
