Schafer is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Indians, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Schafer will give way to Chris Parmelee in left field with a left-hander in T.J. House set to start the second game for Cleveland. Following an 0-for-3 performance in Game 1, Schafer is now just 1-for-his-last-14.

Schafer is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Indians, Tribeinsider reports.

Schafer returned to the lineup yesterday after sitting out two games with bruised ribs, and was expected to take over left field duties with Danny Santana hurt. Chris Parmelee will start in his place, playing left Wednesday.

Schafer (ribs) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Indians, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Schafer missed the Twins' last two games after bruising his ribs in Friday's contest, but he will return to action Tuesday. Schafer will man left field and bat leadoff with Danny Santana (back) sidelined.

Schafer (ribs) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels, but will be available off the bench, Tyler Mason of Fox Sports North reports.

Schafer will miss his second straight game Sunday due to a rib injury. Eduardo Nunez will start in left field in his place and bat second for the Twins.

Schafer (ribs) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, according to Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Schafer will sit out Saturday after injuring his ribs making a catch in Friday's game. It's not clear when he will be able to play next, but Aaron Hicks will get the start in his place Saturday.

Schafer suffered bruised right ribs while making a catch in Friday's loss to the Angels and couldn't swing a bat later in game, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Schafer was optimistic about playing Saturday, but the Twins may hold him out until he's back to full strength.

Schafer is out of the lineup Friday against the Angels, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Chris Herrmann will man left field Friday as Schafer sits following 17 straight starts. Schafer has proven a nice addition for Minnesota, as he's hit .325 (29-for-89) with 11 steals since coming over on a waiver claim from Atlanta.

Schafer isn't in the lineup Monday in Kansas City, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

An everyday player, Schafer has recorded hits in five of the past eight contests, batting .333 (7-for-21) with one RBI, four runs, four steals, and three walks versus three strikeouts. He'll yield center field to Danny Santana, while Eduardo Escobar covers shortstop.

Manager Ron Gardenhire has given Schafer the green light to steal at all times, unless he's specifically told not to go, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Schafer has six stolen bases in eight games with the Twins and it sounds like he'll remain aggressive with Gardenhire's blessing.

Schafer is out of the lineup Wednesday in Houston, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Since he was claimed off waivers on Aug. 3, Schafer has started seven of eight games in the corner outfield for the Twins, batting .273/.333/.364 with one RBI, three runs scored, and six stolen bases in 22 at-bats. In his stead, Eduardo Nunez will cover left field and hit sixth in the order.

Schafer got another start and went 2-for-3 with a run scored, one RBI, a walk, and a stolen base in a losing effort against Oakland on Saturday night.

Claimed just a week ago off of waivers, he batted ninth but contributed across the stat sheet. He's only hitting .185 on the year, but he has 18 swipes so he could be a source of cheap steals if he continues to get playing time.

Schafer started in center field and batted ninth Wednesday against the Padres. He went 1-for-4 with a stolen base, his second in two days.

Schafer is a light hitter, but could be a really good source of stolen bases over the last two months if you can stomach a potentially low average with poor power.

Schafer was claimed off waivers by the Twins on Sunday, LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Schafer will officially join the 25-man roster in advance of Tuesday's game. With the Twins, he'll effectively fulfill the same responsibilities Sam Fuld did prior to his trade Thursday to the Athletics, offering some speed as a pinch-runner while also seeing time as a late-inning defensive replacement.

The Braves designated Schafer for assignment Friday.

Emilio Bonifacio was acquired from the Cubs prior to Thursday's deadline, and thus Schafer became expendable. The 27-year-old's opportunities with Atlanta this season were few and far between, and he hit just .163/.256/.213, but Schafer did some damage against right-handers last season (.265/.355/.380) and can wreak some havoc on the basepaths, so it's be a surprise if he passed through waivers unclaimed.

The Braves are expected to designate Schafer for assignment, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Although the move is not yet official, the Braves will need to clear a couple roster spots for Emilio Bonifacio and James Russell, whom they acquired from the Cubs on Thursday. Thus, Schafer will likely be DFA'd and Chasen Shreve optioned. Schafer will almost certainly garner interest on waivers, because while he's struggled this season, he has plus speed and hit .265/.355/.380 in 233 plate appearances against right-handed pitching last season.

Jordan Schafer was a menace on the basepaths in Friday's loss to the Cubs, swiping three bases and scoring a run.

He finished the afternoon 0-for-1, with a pair of walks and a sacrifice. While he plays a tremendous center field and runs exceptionally well, he's hitting a troublesome .176/.253/.235 on the season to go along with his 14 stolen bases.

Jordan Schafer went 3-for-3 with two doubles and a walk versus the Nationals on Saturday.

While the Braves are certainly hoping B.J. Upton bounces back this year, they do have Schafer available as a decent fallback, assuming he can stay healthy. He hit .247/.331/.346 and stole 22 bases in 231 at-bats after rejoining the team last year.

Braves avoided arbitration with OF Jordan Schafer by agreeing to a one-year, $1.09 million contract.

Schafer was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter. The speedy outfielder batted .247/.331/.346 with three homers and 22 stolen bases last year for the Braves. He's slated to work as an extra outfielder in 2014.

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday that Jordan Schafer (back, quad) is fine to play.

Schafer has dealt with back and quad ailments over the past week, but that's not the reason for his absence from Saturday's lineup. Gonzalez noted that Kyle Kendrick has been better against left-handed hitters this season, and he also indicated that he'd prefer cutting back on Schafer's playing time. "I think Schafe is a valuable piece and a valuable player and if we play him like we did April May and half of June, I think he'll be fine," said Gonzalez.

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Jordan Schafer (back) should be ready to play on Friday.

Schafer suffered a lower back strain in Monday's game. B.J. Upton started in center field on Wednesday in his steed. Atlanta is off on Thursday and travels to Philadelphia to begin a three-game set on Friday.
