SARASOTA, Fla. -- Jonathan Schoop, last year's Most Valuable Oriole, was a late scratch from Friday's Grapefruit League opener against the Rays. The second baseman, a first-time All-Star in 2017, has left elbow bursitis and is listed as day to day.
"He bumped it or something, it swelled up a bit and they actually drained it," manager Buck Showalter said of Schoop's elbow, which was iced on Friday morning. "Backed off on him today."
Showalter said the team's trainers drained the area and don't think there's any kind of infection.
