Detroit Tigers Jonathan Schoop fully cleared to join spring training
DUNEDIN, Fla. Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop, following a lengthy delay, has been fully cleared to join spring training camp.
The organization re-signed the 29-year-old to a one-year, $4.5 million contract this offseason. He faced trouble getting his work visa to enter the U.S. from Curacao, his home country. Upon his arrival, he needed to go through the COVID-19 intake screening process. He s most likely to debut this weekend, get a few at-bats, maybe in the DH slot, manager AJ Hinch said Thursday. I haven t talked to him, so I got to wait until tomorrow to see him. But yes, he s here and available.
