On Friday night, Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop felt discomfort in his right side after a swinging strikeout to end the top of the seventh inning, and felt it again when fielding a grounder in the field in the bottom half of the frame, after which he was removed for precautionary reasons. On Saturday, Schoop was headed for an MRI in the morning, and before the afternoon could even into kick into gear the club had announced that the second baseman was being placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right oblique strain. "[Schoop's] last swing, if you go back and look it, was a little awkward," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said prior to Saturday's matinee at Fenway Park. "Thought something might be going on there. Usually you don't take swings at fastballs like that. [Head trainer] Brian [Ebel] caught it, too, and we got him out of there. Actually, he went out in the field and the ground ball that he bent over for, he felt it again, that's when we got him out of there." Rookie Engelb Vielma made his Major League debut as Schoop's defensive replacement on Friday night and Tim Beckham moved over from third base to second for Saturday's game. https://www.mlb.com/news/jonathan-schoop-to-dl-with-oblique-strain/c-272196146
