Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Exits starting nine

Schneider is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.
Spencer Horwitz will handle second base and Addison Barger will be in left field for the Blue Jays. Schneider is slashing just .171/.229/.316 in June.
Schneider went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.
Schneider has gone 7-for-28 (.250) with three homers over his last eight games. He's usually hit leadoff this season, but he was dropped to sixth in the order Saturday, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa moving up to the top spot and slugging two homers of his own. Schneider's .227 batting average isn't great for a leadoff hitter, though his .319 on-base percentage is a bit more passable. He's added 10 homers, 35 RBI, 32 runs scored, three stolen bases and 15 doubles over 251 plate appearances. While he could ultimately stick lower in the order, Schneider's short-term playing time should be safe after Daulton Varsho left Saturday's contest with back soreness.
Schneider is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Schneider will retreat to the bench after he started in each of the past three games while going 2-for-12 with a solo home run, a double and two walks. With Schneider out of the lineup, the Blue Jays will open up a spot in the outfield for Kevin Kiermaier, who will be flanked by Daulton Varsho in left field and George Springer in right field.
