Kyle Schwarber News
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.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber (calf) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against the New York Mets and right-hander Chris Bassitt, serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff. Schwarber missed a full week with a right calf strain that he suffered on Aug. 11, but he'll be back in there to begin a big weekend series against the division-rival Mets. The 29-year-old left-handed slugger is hitting only .210 on the season, but he was hot at the plate before his injury and also has 34 long balls, 69 RBI, 71 runs scored and six stolen bases in 409 at-bats in his first season in Philly. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their lineups in season-long leagues.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber (calf) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Schwarber will miss his sixth straight game with a right calf strain, and he's not expected to return to the lineup until Friday, at the earliest. The Phillies have an off day on Thursday, so they're hoping the 29-year-old slugger will feel better for the series opener against the division-rival Mets on Friday. Nick Maton will get the start in left field on Wednesday and hit ninth against Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo. Maton is hitting .412 on the year, but he's had just 19 plate appearances with two home runs and eight RBI in a small sample size. He'll be a low-upside dart throw in DFS.

Washington Nationals outfielder Kyle Schwarber had his worst big league season in 2020, a poor enough showing that landed him a ticket out of the Windy City and into the nation's capital. The lefty slugger will look to bounce back in a rebuilt Washington lineup along with fellow NL Central defector Josh Bell, both of whom hope to provide much need protection for superstar Juan Soto. Schwarber certainly has the power to strike fear into opposing pitchers, with a career .249 ISO and .343 wOBA, but he'll need to rebound after a pitiful 2020 campaign. Schwarber put up career-worsts across the board, posting a .188 BA, .701 OPS, 29.5% K rate, and .204 ISO. Those numbers hardly make Schwarber worthy of a big league job, especially considering his poor outfield defense. Fortunately, Schwarber should be afforded a long leash in Washington, as the club doesn't have currently anyone to threaten his job in left field. He'll be just 28 years old on opening day, so Schwarber still finds himself in his physical prime, meaning a rebound is in the cards. His 92.8 MPH average exit velocity and 40.8% hard hit rate indicate that great power still lurks in his bat. He'll need to improve upon a career-high 50.8% ground ball rate and 49.6% pull rate if he hopes to increase his atrocious .219 BABIP from a year ago. With a current NFBC ADP around 200, Schwarber could be a nice value for those in need of power late in drafts, though his ultimate upside is probably an average range of .240-.250 with 25-30 home runs in a 162-game season.
