There is no one best schedule for bodyweight exercises or weights.
There are many possibilities, some of which will work better for some
goals than others. State a goal as a starting point and perhaps we can
comment further.

Coming off a shoulder injury, have weakness, looking to build it up
again so I can serve a tennis ball decently. Not looking to show off
guns or shoulders. Just want to add strength and flexibility.

*----------------------

For strength and for rehab, frequent training is a valid approach, e.g.,
when I suffered a severe back injury, the therapy including performing
certain exercises once per hour, all day long. You can also read about
"grease the groove" training wherein your goal is to perform a
particular movement for as many times as you can throughout a day,
always keeping the effort moderate, typically for a bodyweight exercise
in the range of 50% of the maximum number of reps you could do.

The harder you push, the more recovery you will need. Those looking to
add muscle often train a particular movement or group of muscles between
once and three times per week, pushing hard, and counting on the
combination of a hard effort plus recovery time (and sufficient
nutrition and sleep) to increase their muscle size.

An excellent book on bodyweight exercise technique is "Naked Warrior" by
Pavel Tsatsouline. He focused on only two exercise, the one-legged
squat and the one-armed pushup, for increasing strength, and discusses
frequent training in great detail. While you may not be interested in
learning to do a one-armed pushup, good technique for pushups is
basically the same whether one arm or two, so I highly recommend this
book. He particularly focuses on techniques to "pack" the shoulder for
maximum safety as well as maximum performance. A link to the book is
here: http://www.kbnj.com/nw.htm - using the techniques in this book, I
learned to do both these exercises while past the age of 50.

Hope that's of some help to you - in your place, I'd start doing pushups
a few times per week but work up to 5-6 days per week at least.
