Blue Jays: Is Davis Schneider on the outside of the 2026 Opening Day roster picture?

"Davis Schneider has struggled through the first three weeks of Spring Training. He's batting just .103 (3/29), with no extra-base hits through 13 spring games. The fan favourite was expected to break camp with the Jays after a solid 2025 campaign, where Schneider slashed .234/.361/.436 with 11 home runs, 31 RBIs, and a .797 OPS (119 OPS+) in 82 games."

"While Schneider has struggled, non-roster invitee and former Chicago White Sox stud Eloy Jiménez has been hitting the ball as hard as anyone in camp. Jimenez is batting .297, with three doubles, two homers, three RBIs, and a .891 OPS over 15 games. The hulking outfielder is trying to get his major league career back on track after spending most of last season in the Tampa Bay Rays farm system."

"Schneider was a favourite entering camp to be part of a busy outfield group, with the ability to fill in as needed at second base. However, he's done little to earn his spot, while Jiménez appears to be refreshed and motivated to break camp with the Blue Jays. Schneider will need to prove his worth over the next week."

Davis Schneider, a Toronto Blue Jays utilityman, has struggled significantly during the first three weeks of Spring Training, batting just .103 with no extra-base hits through 13 games. Despite a solid 2025 campaign where he slashed .234/.361/.436 with 11 home runs and a .797 OPS, his bench spot is no longer guaranteed. Meanwhile, non-roster invitee Eloy Jiménez, a former Chicago White Sox player attempting to revive his career, has excelled in camp with a .297 average, three doubles, two homers, and a .891 OPS over 15 games. Jiménez, who previously struggled after being traded to the Orioles and spent time in the Rays farm system, appears refreshed and motivated. Schneider, expected to provide utility outfield and second base depth, must improve significantly in the remaining week to secure his roster spot against Jiménez's strong performance.
