Daniel Schneemann Scratched on Friday With Ankle Sprain
Cleveland Guardians infielder Daniel Schneemann (ankle) was scratched from the Grapefruit League lineup on Friday with a right-ankle sprain, according to Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. Schneemann was set to start at shortstop for the Guards before being scratched. Depending on the severity of the 29-year-old's ankle sprain, he could be sidelined for a little bit, putting his availability for Opening Day at the end of the month in question. The left-handed hitter mostly played against righties in 2025 in just his second year in the big leagues, slashing .206/.283/.354 with a .636 OPS, 12 home runs, 41 RBI, 48 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 422 plate appearances over 131 games played. If healthy for the 2026 season, Schneeman will provide infield versatility off Cleveland's bench against right-handed pitchers. Schneeman showed some power last year, but he's hit just .210 (12-for-572) in his first 204 big-league games.
