Orioles bringing Jonathan Schoop back on Sunday; Ryan Flaherty optioned

Jonathan Schoop is coming back a day early. The Orioles are expected to activate him before Sunday's series finale against the White Sox.

Jonathan Schoop is coming back to the Orioles a day earlier than expected. After Saturday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox, O's beat writers got wind that Schoop is with the team in Chicago now and he'll be activated before Sunday's game, rather than before Monday's game, as the original plan appeared to be.

The reason that Schoop's return was lined up for Monday is that the Orioles were planning to make use of Nolan Reimold's upcoming placement on the paternity list to be able to move Schoop onto the roster without having to designate someone for assignment - for a few days, at least.
