Kyle Schwarber Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Phillies All-Star outfielder Kyle Schwarber (illness) is out of Tuesday's lineup against the division-rival Miami Marlins due to a gastrointestinal issue that is similar to something he dealt with earlier this year, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. The Phillies are hoping Schwarber will only be out for a day or two. With Schwarber under the weather on Tuesday, first baseman Bryce Harper is serving as the designated hitter and is batting third, with Alec Bohm playing first base and hitting cleanup against Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara. Edmundo Sosa is at the hot corner and is batting sixth for the Phils. The 33-year-old Schwarber is a must-start fantasy asset when he's healthy for his elite power from the left side of the plate and his high on-base percentage despite striking out 34.4% of the time. Going into Tuesday's action, Schwarbs still leads baseball in both home runs (33) and strikeouts (157) in 103 games across 457 plate appearances. He's carrying a modest five-game hitting streak right now that has seen him go 6-for-18 with two doubles, an RBI, and four runs scored.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber will officially participate in this year's Home Run Derby to kick off All-Star week on Monday, according to MLB. Schwarber will join teammate Bryce Harper in front of the home faithful at Citizens Bank Park, joining Junior Caminero, Ben Rice, Willson Contreras, and Jac Caglianone. The 33-year-old three-time All-Star and former Silver Slugger winner is an easy choice for the Derby, as he currently leads all of baseball with 32 round-trippers through 338 at-bats in 2026. Schwarbs also leads the league with 140 strikeouts in 90 games across 401 plate appearances while slashing .254/.369/.571 with a .940 OPS, 58 RBI, 57 runs scored, and two stolen bases in his 12th year in the big leagues and fifth with the Phillies. Despite his elevated 34.9% strikeout rate, Schwarbs has continued to get on base at a high clip and hit the ball hard 54% of the time when he makes contact. He has homered twice in his last three games and is batting .250 (14-for-56) with three homers, six RBI, six runs, and a steal in 16 games since June 22.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber (back) is serving as the team's designated hitter and is batting in the two-hole for Thursday's contest in D.C. against the division-rival Washington Nationals and right-hander Cade Cavalli, according to MLB.com. Lower-back tightness kept Schwarber out of the Phillies' starting lineup for the last two games, but the All-Star slugger is now back and should be returned to all starting lineups in traditional fantasy leagues. The 33-year-old three-time All-Star and Silver Slugger winner currently leads all of baseball with 29 home runs while slashing .252/.367/.594 with a .961 OPS, 52 RBI, 51 runs scored, and a stolen base in 76 games across 338 plate appearances. Schwarbs has clubbed four home runs in his last four games (three homers last Saturday) and is hitting .306 (22-for-72) with seven long balls, 13 RBI, and 15 runs scored in 20 games so far in June. He still has plenty of swing and miss to his game, but it's all worth it for the elite raw power that he provides from the left side of the plate. Schwarber has hit .167 with one RBI and a .777 OPS in six career at-bats versus Cavalli.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (back) is sitting out of Wednesday's game against the division-rival Washington Nationals for the second straight game due to a back issue, according to MLB.com. First baseman Bryce Harper will serve as the DH and bat third, with Alec Bohm starting at first base and batting cleanup, and Edmundo Sosa manning third and batting eighth against Nationals right-hander Miles Mikolas. Schwarber, MLB's leader in home runs with 29, was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with lower-back tightness, and he'll miss a second straight game. As of right now, the elite left-handed power hitter is being considered day-to-day, but that could change quickly if Schwarbs is unable to return to Philly's lineup by this weekend. His next chance to return will be for Thursday's series finale in D.C. against the Nats. The 33-year-old veteran has been on a heater of late, going 7-for-23 (.304) with five home runs, 10 RBI, and nine runs scored in his last six games. Fantasy managers should check back on Schwarber's condition on Thursday.

Philadelphia Phillies All-Star outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (back) was scratched from Tuesday night's lineup on the road against the division-rival Washington Nationals with tightness in his lower back, according to Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Utility infielder Edmundo Sosa is serving as the DH for the Philis and is batting eighth in the order against Nationals left-hander PJ Poulin. For now, we'll consider Schwarber, the MLB leader in home runs with 29, to be day-to-day until further notice. Losing the 33-year-old three-time All-Star for an extended period of time would be devastating to the Phillies and fantasy managers alike. Check back on Wednesday to see if Schwarber is feeling good enough to return to the starting nine. Schwarber hit three homers on Saturday against the division-rival New York Mets (two in one inning) and continues to be the cream of the crop in fantasy when it comes to power. In addition to leading the league in homers, Schwarbs also leads in strikeouts (115), slugging percentage .594, and total bases (170) in his 75 games across 337 plate appearances. He's been outstanding in June, going 22-for-72 (.306) with seven long balls, 13 RBI, and 15 runs scored.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber put on a power display on Saturday evening at Citizens Bank Park in the team's 15-3 blowout win over the division-rival New York Mets, going 4-for-5 at the plate with three home runs, six RBI, and four runs scored to raise his season average to .254 and his OPS to .963. Schwarber hit his first two home runs in the first inning, with both long balls traveling 450 feet. It was the left-handed slugger's fifth career three-homer game, and he has now hit safely in eight of his last nine games. In that span, Schwarber has cleared the fences five times with nine RBI and nine runs scored. The 33-year-old veteran and three-time All-Star already came into Saturday's contest in Philly with a league-high 25 home runs despite also punching out a league-high 112 times in 72 games played. After the three-homer showing, Schwarber is now slashing .254/.368/.595 with 28 home runs, 49 RBI, 49 runs scored, and a stolen base in his 329 plate appearances. Schwarber is a freak of nature and remains the best source of raw power in the big leagues in a hitter-friendly home ballpark.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (illness) is feeling better and is serving as the DH and batting second in Friday's series opener against the visiting Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Gavin Williams, according to MLB.com. Schwarber was under the weather earlier this week and missed the entire three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds, but he's back for the weekend series at Citizens Bank Park. Despite missing three contests, the 33-year-old veteran left-handed slugger still leads all of baseball with 20 home runs and is slashing .230/.357/.624 with a .980 OPS. Schwarbs has added 36 RBI, 33 runs scored, and even a stolen base in his 178 at-bats so far in 2026. Fantasy managers are hoping that the three-time All-Star and former Silver Slugger winner can pick up where he left off before his illness, as he has gone 13-for-43 (.302) with nine home runs, a double, 16 RBI, 10 runs, and a steal in his last 10 games, dating back to May 7. Get him back into your starting lineups in all traditional fantasy formats.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (illness) is sitting out for a third straight game due to an illness on Wednesday against the visiting Cincinnati Reds, according to MLB.com. First baseman Bryce Harper will serve as the DH and bat third, while third baseman Alec Bohm will slide over to first and hit cleanup against Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott. Edmundo Sosa is starting at third base and batting seventh for the Phils. The Phillies aren't going to rush Schwarber back into action in the series finale at Citizens Bank Park with a lefty on the mound. The team has an off day coming on Thursday, too, so the left-handed slugger could be back in the starting nine for Friday's series opener against the Cleveland Guardians. Despite missing the last two days, the 33-year-old veteran still leads the majors with 20 home runs. Schwarbs has been especially hot since May 7, going 13-for-43 (.302) with nine homers, a double, 16 RBI, 10 runs, and a steal in 10 games. Fantasy managers can only hope that he can pick up where he left off after he recovers from his illness.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (illness) is out of the starting lineup for a second straight game on Tuesday against the visiting Cincinnati Reds with an illness, according to MLB.com. Shortstop Trea Turner will serve as the DH and will bat leadoff, while Edmundo Sosa will make the start at the 6 and hit seventh against Reds right-hander Chase Burns at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies will give the three-time All-Star another day off. Hopefully, the 33-year-old veteran will be back in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against Cincy. Schwarber continues to mash baseballs well over the fence in 2026 in his 12th year in the big leagues. He currently leads all of baseball with 20 home runs and has also contributed 36 RBI in 47 games across 213 plate appearances. He's been on a homer binge since May 7, going 13-for-43 (.302) with nine homers, a double, 16 RBI, 10 runs scored, and a stolen base in 10 games played. When Schwarber returns to action, fantasy managers will want to throw him right back into all starting lineups. Hopefully, his illness doesn't slow him down at the plate at all.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (illness) is feeling under the weather and will not start in Monday's series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, interim manager Don Mattingly told Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Bryce Harper will take over as the DH on Monday and bat second, while Alec Bohm will move across the diamond to play first base while batting third against Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo. Edmundo Sosa is at the hot corner and is batting cleanup for the Phils. This will be Schwarber's first time on the bench in 2026 after he started each of the team's first 47 games. Fantasy managers should expect the left-handed slugger to be back in there for Game 2 of the series at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday. The 33-year-old veteran slugger remains one of the best sources of power and on-base percentage in his fifth season in Philly. Schwarber enters Monday's action slashing .230/.357/.624 with a .980 OPS, a league-leading 20 home runs, 36 RBI, 33 runs scored, and a stolen base in 213 plate appearances. Sosa will be a viable DFS sleeper in the cleanup spot, and he's also hit .444 with a 1.252 OPS, a homer, and three RBI in 18 career at-bats against Lodolo.
