Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber had a big game in an 8-4 win over the visiting Washington Nationals in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI, two runs scored and a strikeout. In Game 2, a 5-4 loss for the Phillies, Schwarber went 0-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a strikeout. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger has been great for power (30 homers on the year) and run production (72 RBI), but you'll have to live with him killing your team batting average. Schwarber is hitting just .183 (77-for-420) in 2023 with a league-leading 149 strikeouts in 510 trips to the plate. The two-time All-Star has gone 16-for-89 (.180) since the All-Star break with eight homers, two doubles, 23 RBI and 32 K's in 25 starts.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 3-for-4 with a homer, two runs, and two RBI in an 8-4 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Schwarber's two-run shot came in the second inning, traveling 421 feet with an exit velocity of 106.7 MPH. The veteran outfielder is hitting just .182 on the year, but he is making up for that with 28 homers, 65 runs, and 67 RBI across 413 at-bats.

Philadelphia Phillies left fielder Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run and three walks in Friday's 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 30-year-old doubled during the first frame before being caught trying to steal his first base of the campaign. Schwarber's third-inning two-run jack ultimately proved to be enough in the scoring column for Philly on a night Zack Wheeler was dealing. The slugger then drew three free passes (one intentional) to reach base safely five times on the evening. Schwarber has been his usual three-true-outcome self in 2023, slashing .186/.317/.437 with 27 four-baggers, 64 RBI, and 60 runs scored in 382 at-bats.

Philadelphia Phillies left fielder Kyle Schwarber went yard for the third straight game, also going 2-for-5 with a walk-off sacrifice fly in Sunday's 7-6 win over the San Diego Padres. The 30-year-old belted a solo homer to kick-start Philadelphia's key four-run sixth inning. Schwarber then played the role of hero in extra innings, lifting a sac fly to left field to score the previously advanced "ghost runner" for a Phillies walk-off victory. The all-or-nothing slugger is slashing .189/.314/.444 with 25 round-trippers, 56 RBI, and 55 runs scored over 414 plate appearances this season. Schwarber could be looking forward to a three-game series starting Tuesday with the Milwaukee Brewers, who he owns a .265 BA with nine big flies and 23 RBI against in 37 games (117 at-bats) since 2019.

Kyle Schwarber remains in left field and atop the Philadelphia Phillies batting order despite his lowly .186 batting average heading into Friday night's series opener at home against the Washington Nationals. The 30-year-old finished the 2022 season with a .218 batting average and a .323 on-base percentage to go with his career-high 46 homers. Schwarber has somehow elevated his impressive walk rate even more this season, leading to a .326 OBP. He is just off the home run pace from last year, however, with 21 round-trippers at the halfway mark of the season. A typical strikeout rate, a surprisingly low .200 BABIP, and a hard hit rate without red flags suggest that Schwarber will find his way above the Mendoza Line before season's end, but fantasy managers in traditional 5x5 roto leagues will continue to be punished by his dreadfully low average while reaping the benefits of his home run power and runs scored.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-3 with a walk-off solo home run and two additional runs scored in the team's 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. The 30-year-old's bat has caught fire, going 8-for-26 with four big flies and eight RBI over his last seven outings. The hot streak has Schwarber back up to a .330 OBP and .775 OPS for the season, his highest figures since May 1. The 2022 Silver Slugger is also up to 17 bombs, tied for third in the NL, and 35 RBI this year. Hopefully fantasy managers are punting his ghastly .177 BA to really appreciate the slugging goodness. Schwarber has a chance to gain some ground on Pete Alonso's (hand) MLB-high 22 blasts while the New York Mets star is injured.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner is being dropped to the No. 5 spot in the batting order on Friday against the Washington Nationals and right-hander Josiah Gray, while outfielder Kyle Schwarber slides up into the leadoff spot. Turner is in a rough stretch that has seen him go 5-for-38 (.132) with a home run, four RBI and five strikeouts in his last nine games. It has dropped his overall line in his first year in Philly to a disappointing .236/.279/.369 with 12 doubles, two triples, five home runs, 15 RBI and eight steals in 55 games. The 29-year-old could heat up at any moment, but the move down to the five-hole on Friday is bad news for his immediate fantasy value. Schwarber hasn't been much better of late, going 2-for-30 in his last nine games.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber made his one hit count in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, and a strikeout. The fourth-inning drive was the slugger's 12th HR of the season. The 30-year-old has been on the lower end of expectations to this point, slashing .177/.322/.421 with 24 RBI. Fantasy managers have never expected Schwarber to hit for a high average, but hopefully, he can bring it up a bit, which should also help provide more extra-base hits.

Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies went 1-for-4, contributing two RBI and scoring a run in a 6-3 win over the Rockies Friday. In addition, he launched a solo home run during the fourth inning. Despite a relatively modest batting average this season, Schwarber has displayed his power by smashing nine home runs and driving in 18 runs across 38 games. He will be counted on for his power all season long in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber left Tuesday's contest against the Toronto Blue Jays early after fouling a pitch off his foot in the sixth. According to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, he is dealing with a bruised left foot, but X-rays came back negative. There will be more news to come following the game. Schwarber has gotten off to a slow start, slashing .188/.307/.406 with eight homers, 19 runs, and 16 RBI over 35 games. The 30-year-old has been one of the most prolific power hitters in the game since debuting in 2015, swatting 207 career dingers in 854 games. If Schwarber needs to miss time, it'll be a big blow for fantasy managers, specifically in the power and counting stats departments.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber went hitless (0-for-5) in the team's defeat to the Red Sox on Saturday. It was the fourth consecutive game that Schwarber has gone without a knock, enough to help form an ugly 0-for-19 slump across that stretch. The 30-year-old slugger has just one hit, a home run on May 1, over his last 27 at-bats now. That makes the reigning Silver Slugger an attractive buy-low fantasy commodity, however, while his asking price is still in a depreciated state. Schwarber is certain to hurt the batting average category and loses a bit of appeal in leagues that don't count walks, but his power potential (46 homers in 2022) is undeniable atop a loaded Phillies lineup.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber has been hit or miss in the World Baseball Classic thus far. Schwarber is 2-for-11 but has four walks. One of his hits was a home run and he has three RBI and three runs in the tournament. He has played in four games heading into Tuesday's finals matchup against Team Japan. The lefty has a .308 average and .438 on-base percentage in 13 spring training at-bats. Batting average will never be Schwarber's forte, as he hit just .218 last season, but he did hit 46 home runs and drive in 94. He also stole 10 bases in 2022 and plays in a stacked lineup that should help pad his counting stats again this season. Look to draft him in the top 45 while racking up the homers.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber hit another long home run in Tuesday night's World Series Game 3, depositing a Lance McCullers Jr. pitch over the center-field fence in the fifth inning. The two-run shot was the fourth of five the Phillies would hit in the game, en route to a 7-0 victory. Schwarber was 1-for-3 in the game with a walk and two runs scored. He's now hit four home runs and driven in eight runs this postseason.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber continued to swing a hot bat in Saturday night's NLCS Game 4, going 2-for-3 at the plate with a home run, a walk, and three runs scored. It was his third homer of these playoffs. In 40 plate appearances this postseason he has slashed .206/.341/.471, setting a strong tone at the top of the lineup. He'll look to push the team into the World Series in Game 5 against Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Astros. The Phillies will give Schwarber the day off after they clinched a postseason berth with a victory on Monday night. He's currently riding a modest four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 8-for-13 (.615) with four home runs, one triple, seven RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base. The Phillies will be hoping he can keep that up with the playoffs beginning this Friday. With Schwarber on the bench, Matt Vierling is starting in left field and batting seventh against Astros right-hander Justin Verlander. Vierling does have multi-hit showings in back-to-back games, but he's also gone 4-for-17 with a homer and three RBI in his last seven games.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber continued to flex his muscles in Monday's 3-0 win over the Astros. The 29-year-old went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and two walks. Schwarber has more or less been what fantasy managers had hoped for, compiling a .219/.324/.506 slash line with 46 HR, 94 RBI, and a surprising 10 stolen bases this season. The batting average is an issue, but his elite power production makes up for it. The power alone will make Schwarber a higher-end fantasy option in 2023, particularly in roto leagues, and the potential for some stolen bases is an added bonus.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber had a big day Saturday against the Washington Nationals. The 29-year-old slugger stole home in game one of the doubleheader, but the Phils ended up losing 13-4. In game two of their doubleheader, Schwarber took matters into his own hands, homering twice. Overall, Schwarber went four-for-seven on the day, adding three runs and two RBI to his two homers and stolen base. Schwarber has been a true three-category monster this season, racking up 44 big flies, 97 RBI, and 90 runs, while also chipping in 10 stolen bases. The only knock against his season is his .210 average, but that was to be expected from Schwarbs. He will be taken with a high draft pick next season.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber was 0-for-2 in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs but did walk twice. He's been struggling to hit recently, batting .185 in his last 15 games, but still has five home runs in that span. Overall, it's been a productive season for Schwarber, who's slugged 42 HRs and has slashed .212/.315/.483 with 95 runs, 87 RBI, and nine stolen bases over 149 games. The lefty is a must-start in every league unless fantasy managers are going all in for batting average.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run for his 35th long ball of the season in Thursday's 4-0 shutout win over the Cincinnati Reds. He also struck out twice in the game. The 29-year-old had gone 14 games without clearing the fences, so hopefully this gets him back on track for the stretch run in the final month of the regular season. The two-time All-Star is hitting just .213 in 442 at-bats with a .314 on-base percentage, but his power stroke (35 homers, 73 RBI) makes him a must-start in single-year fantasy formats. Schwarber has also tacked on 76 runs scored and six stolen bases in 510 plate appearances over 119 games in his first year in Philly.
