Baltimore's Jonathan Schoop (hand) hopes to play Monday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop (hand) is hoping to return to the lineup Monday.

What It Means:

Schoop missed both Saturday and Sunday's game after taking a pitch off his hand on Friday. While his hand is still sore, the second baseman is feeling better and expects to be able to play on Monday. Ryan Flaherty is getting the start at second on Sunday.

Schoop is batting .296/.339/.510 with 5 home runs, 17 RBI's, and 15 runs scored in 109 plate appearances.
