Max Schuemann Fantasy Stats

Athletics infielder Max Schuemann was traded to the Yankees on Monday for pitching prospect Luis Burgos. The A's designated Schuemann for assignment this past Friday, but he'll now head to the Yankees and should compete for a backup role in the spring. The 28-year-old spent time at third base, shortstop, and second base last year, as well as every outfield spot, so he is versatile. However, over his two seasons in the majors, the right-handed hitter has registered a .212/.306/.297 slash line with a .275 wOBA and 78 wRC+, so there isn't much there in the way of offense or fantasy relevance. Burgos posted a 2.44 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 11.8 percent K-BB% last season in the Dominican Summer League, but the 20-year-old has yet to pitch stateside professionally. Recently acquired outfielder Yanquiel Fernandez was DFA'd in order to make room for Schuemann.

The Athletics designated infielder Max Schuemann for assignment on Friday, according to A's Communications. The move was made to clear a spot on the team's 40-man roster after the A's claimed infielder Andy Ibanez off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 28-year-old former 20th-round pick in 2018 out of Eastern Michigan gets booted off the roster after hitting just .197/.295/.273 with a .568 OPS, two home runs, 13 RBI, 20 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 101 games played in Sacramento last year. Schuemann was only slightly better in 2024 in his first MLB season, when he hit .220/.311/.308 with seven long balls, 34 RBI, 55 runs, and 14 steals in 133 games played. It remains to be seen if another MLB team will scoop him up off waivers for infield depth heading into spring training in 2026.

Oakland A's infielder Max Schuemann had a big night in his team's 13-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. Schuemann went 3-for-4 with a double, a homer, three runs, and four RBI to help propel his team to the win. The rookie infielder did most of his damage with a three-run homer off starter Griffin Canning in the fourth inning to give his team a 6-2 lead. Schuemann has been serviceable in his debut season, hitting .255 with eight doubles, six homers, 39 runs, 24 RBI, and nine steals over 220 at-bats. He is hitting .417 over his past seven games and is worth a look as a streamer in deeper leagues while he's hot.

Oakland Athletics shortstop Max Schuemann broke out with his first career four-hit day in Saturday's 11-9 victory over the Braves. The 26-year-old went 4-for-4 with three singles, a double, one RBI, and three runs scored. Since May 11 (19 games), Schuemann is hitting .309 (21-for-68) with two home runs, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, and two stolen bases. If he can continue hitting he could become fantasy-relevant in 12-team leagues, especially due to his positional eligibility in Yahoo leagues, able to be slotted in at 2B, SS, and OF. Schuemann is rostered in just 1% of Yahoo leagues at the moment.
