Tue Feb 20 201800:21Hosmer's deal leaves Padres with overstuffed outfield
PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Now that San Diego's first base position is in Eric Hosmer's $144 million hands, it seems as if there are 144 million candidates for the one remaining starting spot in the Padres' outfield.Wil Myers will move to one of the corner spots after playing first base the previous two seasons, manager Andy Green said, and Manuel Margot remains a fixture in center field after a notable rookie season in 2017.That leaves the other seven holdovers who made at least 20 starts in the Padres' outfield last year — including power bat and 2013 first-round draft pick Hunter Renfroe — in the mix for final starting position and the reserve roles."He's right in the thick of that competition," manager Andy Green said of Renfroe, adding, "we didn't have to have a (roster) move to cause that to happen."Green mentioned Alex Dickerson, Franchy Cordero, Travis Jankowski, Matt Szczur and Jose Pirela as others in the outfield competition, noting that Pirela also could spend time in the infield.Renfroe...

UT Skip Schumaker announced his retirement, but Padres manager Andy Green said Schumaker, 36, who is in camp on a minor league contract, didn't want to use the word "retire." "He has an aversion to the word 'retire' -- he thinks those are reserved for Peyton Manning and people who have celebrated storied careers," Green said. "But his journey is complete. Utility guys don't retire, we kind of fade into the background."

INF/OF Skip Schumaker had his $2.5 million club option declined by the Reds on Nov. 2, making him a free agent. He received a $500,000 buyout. Schumaker, 35, hit .242/.306/.336 with one homer and 21 RBIs in 131 games for Cincinnati this year.
Sun Sep 13 201500:19Schumaker 1-3 Saturday with first home run, three-run shot, and ...
Schumaker went 1-for-3 Saturday with his first home run, a three-run shot, and second stolen base of the season.
He's done very little this season, slashing just .223/.291/.316 on the year, but Saturday's solid game might earn Schumaker some extra playing time down the stretch.

Schumaker came off the bench to loft a two-run double in Thursday's 11-0 rout of the Cardinals.
Schumaker's pinch-hit extended Cincinnati's lead to 9-0, effectively putting the game out of reach for his former team. Though Schumaker has driven in three runs in his last four at-bats, his scarce playing time makes it difficult to use him in most formats.

Schumaker is starting in left field and batting seventh against the Brewers on Saturday.
With Billy Hamilton on the DL and Marlon Byrd traded to the Giants, the Reds have more playing time in center and left field. Schumaker is hitting a paltry .217/.290/.289 on the season.

Schumaker is starting Tuesday's game in left field, the result of Billy Hamilton getting the day off and Marlon Byrd moving over to center field.
Schumaker is having a near carbon-copy season at the plate from last year, hitting .213/.299/.295 in 122 at-bats. If-and-when the Reds start selling off players, he could be in line for more playing time.
Sun Jun 14 201516:35Schumaker out of lineup Sunday against Cubs
Schumaker is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs.
Schumaker has started in left field three of the last four games, but he'll take a seat Sunday, as manager Bryan Price will look to limit the left-handed bats in his lineup against opposing starter Jon Lester. The outfielder has reached base safely in back-to-back games, but remains a less-than-intriguing fantasy option, slashing .227/.313/.330 on the season.
Mon Jun 8 201513:45Schumaker out of lineup Monday against Phillies
Schumaker is out of the lineup Monday against the Phillies.
Schumaker made each of the last four starts in left field, likely indicating he will take over everyday duties for the most part until Marlon Byrd (wrist) returns from the disabled list. However, his lack of power and speed on the basepaths, combined with just a .236/.321/.361 batting line through 37 games this season doesn't make him an attractive fantasy option despite the additional playing time. Ivan De Jesus will start in left field in his place Monday, batting sixth for the Reds.

Schumaker will make his fourth straight start in left field Sunday against the Padres.
With Marlon Byrd (wrist) landing on the DL this past Wednesday, Schumaker has been able to claim a regular role for the Reds. Though he doesn't have many viable challengers for at-bats, Schumaker's limited power, lack of stolen-base prowess, and .221/.312/.338 batting line on the season make him more ideal for a utility role than an everyday starting gig.
Sun May 3 201510:05Schumaker will start in left field and bat leadoff Sunday agains...
Schumaker will start in left field and bat leadoff Sunday against the Braves, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Schumaker will get the start in favor of the slumping Billy Hamilton, and will man the leadoff role for the second time this season. He'll provide manager Brian Price with another left-handed bat in the lineup, and is 2-for-4 in his career against Sunday's starter, Julio Teheran.

Schumaker will replace Brandon Phillips (illness) in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Braves, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Phillips was in the Reds' original lineup, but he was scratched due to an illness, so Schumaker will start Thursday for the first time since Apr. 19. He will man second base and hit seventh against Braves starter Shelby Miller.
Sun Apr 19 201516:35Schumaker starting in left field and batting leadoff for Sunday ...
Schumaker is starting in left field and batting leadoff for Sunday night's game in St. Louis.
Billy Hamilton is hurt and Marlon Byrd is off to a miserable start, so Schumaker and Brennan Boesch are both in the lineup. That is, if the game goes off as planned - the tarp is currently on the field and rain is in the forecast.
Tue Apr 14 201523:44Schumaker replaced Brandon Phillips in Tuesday's game, but didn'...
Schumaker replaced Brandon Phillips, who left the game feeling lightheaded after a collision, in Tuesday's game, but didn't get on base in two at bats.
After the game, it was unclear how serious Phillips' injury may have been. Schumaker has come off the bench in five games so far this season and is a combined 1-for-6 from the plate with no RBIs and one strikeout.

The Reds are hoping that Schumaker, who ended his 2014 season early with a surgery to repair the torn labrum in his left shoulder, will play more of a supersub role rather than start as frequently as he did in 2014.
It's rare to see a player suggest that he needs to play less, but Schumaker is buying the team's party line. "I was telling Jay Bruce the other day that if I play more than starting a few games, we've got problems," Schumaker said. "I expect everybody in our starting lineup to play 150-plus games. If you see the really good teams, very rarely is their starting lineup taking days off."
