Davis Schneider will retreat to the bench on Tuesday against the visiting division-rival Baltimore Orioles after starting each of the team's last four games. With Schneider riding pine,
Leo Jimenez will start at second base and will bat ninth for Toronto against Orioles right-hander
Grayson Rodriguez. The 25-year-old Schneider is hitting just .214/.304/.375 on the year in 299 at-bats, but he should play regularly down the stretch after the team traded away
Isiah Kiner-Falefa at last week's deadline. In 99 games in his second year in the big leagues, Schneider has provided a modest 10 home runs, 37 RBI and four stolen bases. Jimenez has 14 hits in his first 64 major-league at-bats so far in 2024 and is still searching for his first home run.

Davis Schneider is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday versus the visiting New York Yankees. Schneider has had an atrocious month at the plate in June, going 13-for-76 (.171) with three home runs, two doubles, six RBI, six walks and 22 strikeouts in 23 games to drop his season line to .220/.314/.419 with a .733 OPS. The 25-year-old utility man does have 10 home runs on the year but hasn't been of much help otherwise to fantasy managers. With Schneider getting a day to rest on Friday, rookie
Spencer Horwitz will start at second base and bat second, while rookie
Addison Barger will play left field and bat eighth against Yankees veteran right-hander
Marcus Stroman. Horwitz has handled big-league pitching so far in his first 46 at-bats, collecting 16 hits (two homers) while driving in six and scoring nine runs.

Davis Schneider is out of the starting lineup on Saturday versus the visiting Cleveland Guardians. With Schneider getting a breather, rookie
Spencer Horwitz is playing second base and batting leadoff, while rookie
Addison Barger will man third base and bat seventh against Guardians right-hander
Carlos Carrasco.
Daulton Varsho is also in left field and is batting fifth. Schneider is hitting only .230 (45-for-196) but has already matched his career-high in home runs with eight that he set in his rookie campaign in 2023, and he's also seen run in the leadoff spot this year with
George Springer struggling. The lefty-hitting Horwitz has been hot in his first six games in 2024 for Toronto, going 7-for-19 (.368). He'll be an interesting DFS sleeper in the leadoff spot against Carrasco.

Davis Schneider went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and three RBI in Tuesday's victory versus the Chicago White Sox. Schneider has been having a good season for the Blue Jays and was recently rewarded by primarily leading off with outfielder
George Springer in a season-long slump. For the season, Schneider has hit .255 with six homers, 27 RBI, 26 runs and three stolen bases. Schneider has been playing well enough to help managers in most formats. Schneider will look to continue his breakout season against
Chris Flexen in Wednesday's series finale.
