The Philadelphia Phillies officially activated outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, and he's serving as the DH and batting in his customary leadoff spot for the Phils in a showdown against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Bobby Miller. This move had been expected since the weekend, so fantasy managers should have been ready to return Schwarber to their starting lineups everywhere. The 31-year-old left-handed slugger is a must-start when healthy and has quickly recovered from a minor groin pull. He's hitless in two career at-bats against Miller, but Schwarber has elite power and is currently hitting well above his career average of .229 at .250 (75-for-300) while adding 17 home runs, 49 RBI and a league-leading 59 walks in 79 games.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber (groin) is expected to be activated from the injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Schwarber ran the bases 100 percent on Saturday, completing the final step in his injury rehab, and is good to go for Tuesday. The 31-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a mild left groin strain on June 28. Before landing on the IL, he slashed .250/.373/447 with 17 home runs, 49 RBI, and four stolen bases over 367 plate appearances in 2024. Schwarber will provide the Phillies and fantasy managers a power boost when he returns from the injured list early next week.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) will run the bases on Saturday. It's the last step toward rejoining the team. Barring a setback on Saturday, Schwarber is expected to be activated from the injured list on Tuesday. First baseman Bryce Harper (hamstring) isn't far behind. It was reported on Thursday that Schwarber was doing drills at 90 percent intensity as he rehabs a mild groin strain that landed him on the IL last week. It's great news for the Phils and fantasy managers that the 31-year-old left-handed slugger will be back before the All-Star break, although he'll likely be eased back in at DH. When active, Schwarber is a must-start in all fantasy leagues for his elite power from the leadoff spot. He's currently hitting .250 (75-for-300) with 17 long balls, 49 RBI, four stolen bases and 60 runs scored in 79 games played in 2024.
Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) is doing drills at 90 percent intensity. Although the All-Star break looms after next week's homestand, the Phillies won't hold Schwarber back from coming off the 10-day injured list if he's ready to return before the Midsummer Classic. The 31-year-old All-Star left-handed slugger is dealing with a mild left-groin strain and has a pretty good shot at returning before the All-Star break. The former fourth overall pick by the Chicago Cubs in 2014 should be stashed in all fantasy formats while he's on the IL, as he's an elite power bat and on-base machine atop one of the best lineups in baseball. Schwarber is currently slashing .250/.373/.447 with an .820 OPS, 17 homers, 49 RBI, 60 runs and even four stolen bases in 300 at-bats.
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (hamstring) and outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) both hit in the batting cages on Tuesday at Wrigley Field before the game against the Chicago Cubs. Harper and Schwarber also did some jogging. "They're coming along," manager Rob Thomson said. "I don't think they're too far away. I don't know a date yet but we'll know in the next couple of days I would think." Harper and Schwarber were put on the 10-day injured list last Friday with minor injuries. They are first eligible for activation on July 9, when the team opens a six-game homestand against the Dodgers and Athletics that leads into the All-Star break. As long as neither left-handed sluggers have any setbacks, they should be back for fantasy managers before the Midsummer Classic.
