Kyle Schwarber's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) said on Sunday that he hopes to be ready as soon as he's eligible to be activated from the injured list on July 9. Manager Rob Thomson said that Schwarber was doing some jogging in the pool and weight room work. When asked if he needed a minor-league rehab assignment, Schwarber said that he'll listen to the team but emphasized that he's been fine without rehab stints in the past. Schwarber is recovering from a strained left groin, and if he's able to bypass a rehab assignment, he could rejoin the Phillies for the last few games prior to the mid-July All-Star break. Over 300 at-bats before getting injured, the 31-year-old star slugger was batting a palatable .250 with 17 home runs, 60 runs scored, 49 RBI, and four stolen bases.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a mild left-groin strain. Schwarber could spend the minimum 10 days on the IL, which is great news for the Phillies, especially considering first baseman Bryce Harper (hamstring) also went on the IL on Friday. Groin tightness forced the 31-year-old left-handed-hitting Schwarber out of Thursday night's loss to the visiting Miami Marlins early. As one of the elite power hitters in the game, he must be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues while he heals up. In the meantime with the All-Star break quickly approaching, Nick Castellanos and David Dahl could see more at-bats out of the DH spot for the Phillies until Schwarber is able to return. Schwarber is hitting .250 (75-for-300) on the year with 17 long balls and 49 RBI in 79 games.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) departed Thursday night's game against the division-rival Miami Marlins due to left groin tightness. Schwarber was pulled in the ninth inning and replaced in left field by Brandon Marsh, going 1-for-4 before exiting. Thursday marked just the third time this season that Schwarber appeared in the outfield, so it's fair to wonder if his body wasn't responding well to the defensive action. Consider the 31-year-old star slugger day-to-day before he's re-evaluated ahead of Friday's contest against Miami, but with the All-Star break looming, the first-place Phillies could always choose to err on the side of caution. Whit Merrifield and Edmundo Sosa are candidates for more at-bats at DH if Schwarber needs to miss a couple of games or head to the injured list.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber kicked off Wednesday's game with a bang. The left-handed slugger blasted a leadoff home run off left-hander Kyle Harrison to begin the game. The 31-year-old slugger would also add an RBI single later in the game as the Phillies would grab the 6-1 win over the San Francisco Giants. Schwarber has been hitting much better lately so fantasy managers should ride with him through this hot stretch.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber clubbed his 10th home run of the season in Monday's loss to the hosting San Francisco Giants, adding a stolen base in the defeat. Schwarber crushed a two-run home run to right-center field off Giants left-hander Blake Snell, cutting the Phillies' deficit to 3-2 in the third inning, and he also tacked on a popup single in front of home plate in the seventh. In the month of May, the 31-year-old star slugger is slashing a strong .288/.422/.413 with two long balls, 16 RBI, 23 runs scored, and two steals over 80 at-bats as the everyday leadoff man atop Philly's loaded lineup. Keep rolling with the hot Schwarber for the remainder of the series against San Francisco, as he's batting .270 with seven big flies, 12 RBI, and 15 runs scored in 17 games for the Phils against the Giants in his career.
