2 years agoDetroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop (ankle) could begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend, but skipper A.J. Hinch said it's unlikely that Schoop will rejoin the Tigers in Los Angeles from Sept. 5-7. If everything goes well on his rehab assignment, it's more likely that he'll return from the injured list for the series against the Kansas City Royals on Sept. 9-11. The 30-year-old has resumed baseball activities and is getting closer to a return. Schoop has hit just .202/.235/.318 with nine home runs, 34 RBI, 40 runs scored and five stolen bases in 447 plate appearances over 115 games and hasn't been much of a help in fantasy leagues. With youngsters Spencer Torkelson and Ryan Kreidler joining the Tigers when rosters expand on Thursday, Schoop could be on the bench more often when he's healthy enough to return.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
