Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (elbow) is serving as the DH and is batting in his customary leadoff spot on Friday against the division-rival New York Mets and left-hander Jose Quintana at Citizens Bank Park. Schwarber injured his elbow during Tuesday's game while diving back into first base and was subsequently scratched from Wednesday's lineup as a result. But after a scheduled day off on Thursday, the 31-year-old is ready to roll for a crucial series this weekend against the Mets. Not only is Schwarber a must-start in all fantasy leagues when he's in the Phillies' lineup, but he has a career .333 average and an .889 OPS with a homer and four RBI in 18 at-bats against Quintana. The two-time All-Star swings and misses a lot, but he's also leading the league with 98 walks and has hit 35 homers and driven in 95 in 134 games in 2024.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (elbow) was scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup at Citizens Bank Park against the Tampa Bay Rays. Schwarber still feels something in his left elbow when he swings after leaving Tuesday's game early after diving back to first base on a pickoff. Manager Rob Thomson said he isn't concerned about it, and Schwarber could be back in the lineup on Friday for the start of a big series against the division-rival New York Mets after a scheduled day off on Thursday. The 31-year-old All-Star slugger did go deep on Tuesday before departing the contest early, and fantasy managers should consider him to be day-to-day for now. If he cannot return to action this weekend, then you can start worrying about his status the rest of the way. Bryce Harper is the DH on Wednesday, with Kody Clemens starting at first against the Rays.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (elbow) left Tuesday's contest early against the Tampa Bay Rays at Citizens Bank Park with left-elbow discomfort, according to the Phillies. Schwarber appeared to injure his elbow when sliding back into first base on a pickoff attempt by the Rays catcher. He did damage at the plate before departing, though, going 1-for-1 with his 35th homer of the season (a solo shot) while also scoring a run and walking once. He was replaced at DH by bench player Buddy Kennedy. Expect the 31-year-old slugger to undergo testing after the game, so we won't know his status moving forward until then. Hopefully, it's just a day-to-day thing and not a serious injury. If it is serious, it could jeopardize Schwarber's available for the rest of the regular season and the playoffs. Both Kody Clemens and Weston Wilson could see more at-bats if Schwarber misses time.
Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, and three runs scored in Friday's 16-2 rout over the Marlins. It was Schwarber's fifth home run in his last four games and 33rd of the season. From August 9 to September 1 (22 games), the 31-year-old limped to a .125/.228/.193 slashline, but over the last four games he's gone 10-for-19 (.526) with a pair of doubles, five home runs, 10 RBI, and eight runs scored. The 2x All-Star has authored a .249-33-92-96-5 line hitting atop the Phillies lineup with a .368 wOBA and 137 wRC+.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber provided an offensive explosion in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Blue Jays. Schwarber went 5-for-6 with a single, a double, two solo home runs, a three-run HR, six RBI, and a strikeout. His most important long ball came in the top of the ninth inning when he clobbered a Chad Green fastball into the left-field seats to put the Phillies ahead by two. The 31-year-old has pretty much provided exactly what fantasy managers were hoping for all season long, slashing .245/.369/.474 with 31 HR, 92 runs scored, 88 RBI, and five stolen bases in 591 plate appearances. He has even over-delivered in terms of batting average, although his second-half batting average has been more in line with his career average. Either way, he has been a higher-end fantasy contributor throughout the season.
