Lakeland, Fla. — There will be one player absent when the Tigers hit the field Monday for their first official, full-squad workout.
General manager Al Avila said Saturday that second baseman Jonathan Schoop most likely wouldn't arrive until Wednesday. Schoop, who is from Curacao, was still waiting for his work visa.
The Tigers signed the 28-year-old in December for $6.1 million. The seven-year veteran had 23 home runs for the Central Division-champion Twins last season.
Sunday is reporting day for position players.
