Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop is unlikely to be moved before the July 30 trade deadline. The interest in Schoop has been limited enough that the Tigers don't believe it's worth it to deal him. Schoop is making $4.5 million this season and has put up a .791 OPS with 17 home runs and 61 RBI. There isn't a huge trade market for second basemen and many contenders have already acquired one. It sounds like the Tigers will hold onto Schoop through the rest of the season.

Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop returned to the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. He was a late scratch from Wednesday's game due to back tightness, but was able to give it a go on Thursday. In Thursday's game, Schoop went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored. He is now slashing .286/.327/.464 with 17 home runs, 61 RBI and 56 runs over 100 games on the year. He ranks in the 99th percentile in the league in max exit velocity (117.1 mph). His current hard-hit rate (40.1%) is the highest it's been since 2015 (40.8%). Keep getting him in your lineup as he has continued to produce strong, consistent numbers since the middle of May.

Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop (back) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to back tightness and not anything related to a trade. Schoop was originally set to bat second and start at first base against the Minnesota Twins and left-hander J.A. Happ. Instead, Harold Castro will start at first base and hit eighth for the Tigers. If you're looking for a last-minute streaming option, you're probably better off looking elsewhere. Castro is hitting .284 with a .330 on-base percentage and a home run in 201 plate appearances this season.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The game between the San Diego Padres and Washington was suspended in the sixth inning Saturday night after police said there was a shooting outside Nationals Park. The shooting, an exchange of gunfire between people in two cars, left three people injured, according to Ashan Benedict, the Metropolitan Police Department’s executive assistant police chief. One of the people who was shot was a woman who was attending the game and who was struck while she was outside the stadium, he said. Her injuries weren’t considered life-threatening. Two people who were in one of the cars later walked into a local hospital with gunshot wounds and were being questioned by investigators, Benedict said, and the extent of their injuries wasn’t immediately clear. Investigators were still trying to locate the second vehicle involved in the shooting. The gunshots caused panic among fans inside the stadium, some of whom ducked for cover, hiding underneath tables and behind seats as announcers... [More]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The game between the San Diego Padres and Washington was suspended in the sixth inning Saturday night after police said there was a shooting outside Nationals Park. Two people were shot, according to a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Department. Based on preliminary information, investigators believe that one of the victims was an employee at the stadium. Washington police later tweeted that “two additional victims associated with this incident walked into area hospitals for treatment of gunshot wounds.” The Padres had just taken the field for the bottom of the sixth when several loud pops were heard from the left field side of the ballpark. Fans sitting in left field quickly began leaving through the center field gate. A short time later, fans along the first base side began briskly leaving their seats. Some fans crowded into the Padres’ dugout on the third base side for safety. The Padres led 8-4 when the game was halted. It will be resumed Sunday afternoon, followed... [More]

NEW YORK (AP) — Taijuan Walker took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, Brandon Nimmo provided a spark in his return from the injured list and the New York Mets beat the crosstown Yankees 8-3 Saturday to open a three-game Subway Series. The Mets already led 8-0 when Aaron Judge homered with one out in the sixth to end Walker’s bid for the record-tying eighth no-hitter in the majors this season. Walker (7-3) was lifted after 5 2/3 innings and got a standing ovation from Mets fans among the season-high crowd of 40,047 at Yankee Stadium. Jordan Montgomery (3-3) stranded five Mets baserunners over the first three innings to keep it scoreless, but the visitors broke through in the fifth. Nimmo led off with a single, one of his three hits, and scored the first run. TIGERS 11, WHITE SOX 5 DETROIT (AP) — Eric Haase hit a three-run, inside-the-park homer and later cleared the fence for another three-run drive, and Detroit snapped Chicago's five-game winning streak.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trea Turner completed his record-tying third career cycle by hitting a sixth-inning triple for the Washington Nationals on Wednesday, accomplishing the feat on his 28th birthday in a 15-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The speedy shortstop became the fifth player in major league history with three cycles, joining Adrian Beltre, Babe Herman, Bob Meusel and John Reilly, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. He also scored four times in the victory, which sealed a two-game sweep as well as Washington’s fourth straight win and 14th in its last 17 games. Turner singled in the first off Tampa Bay opener Drew Rasmussen, doubled in the third against Ryan Sherriff (0-1), then hit his 14th homer in the fourth off Michael Wacha. Two innings later, Turner hit a ball into the right-field corner and beat second baseman Mike Brosseau's throw to third with a headfirst slide. Jon Lester (2-3) allowed five runs on seven hits over five innings, striking out three and walking two. ANGELS... [More]
