The Orioles will simply have to make do without second baseman Jonathan Schoop for the next couple of weeks.
Bad news for the #Orioles as Buck tells reporters in Boston Jonathan Schoop is out with a partial PCL tear and sprained MCL. No ACL injury.
— Luke Jones (@BaltimoreLuke) April 18, 2015Schoop sustained the injury after tripping over Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli on Friday. But the rehabilitation period shouldn't be too long. Ryan Flaherty will take over at second base.
No surgery for Schoop. Buck said feels confident Schoop back this season. Rehab in Sarasota. Grade 1 tear
— Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) April 18, 2015So far this season, Schoop is batting .259/.310/.630 with three home runs and seven RBIs.
Infielder Jimmy Paredes has been activated from the DL in Schoop's place. Paredes had an impressive spring hitting .364/.368/.636 with seven doubles, a triple, two homers and 12 RBIs.
