Max Schuemann Continues Impressive Spring Training Performance

Utility player Max Schuemann is making a strong push for a backup shortstop role with the Yankees, continuing his productive spring with a pair of singles against Tigers pitcher Framber Valdez on Sunday. Schuemann is currently hitting .409 with a 1.112 OPS through 11 games. While considered a long shot to make the opening roster, his defensive versatility and recent offensive performance have kept him in the conversation for a utility spot.
