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

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-1 with a home run, two RBI, three runs scored, and three walks during Sunday's 8-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. It was an impressive day at the plate for the Phillies and Schwarber was no exception. The 31-year-old is now slashing .217/.327/.434 with six homers, 11 RBI and one stolen base through 22 games. At this point, fantasy managers know what Schwarber brings to the table. He strikes out a ton and will hurt your ratios, but he can homer in bunches and will deliver solid counting stats across the board. A series at the hitter-friendly confines of Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati is up next.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber bashed two home runs to help complete a series sweep of the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday, gathering three RBI in the 7-6 win. In a four-run first inning against Rockies right-hander Ryan Feltner, Schwarber homered to deep right before greeting Peter Lambert in the sixth frame with a two-run blast to make a 7-1 ballgame. Fantasy managers who drafted the 31-year-old three-true-outcomes slugger probably know the deal already; Schwarber is hitting just .230 (17-for-44) but is making up for it with five homers, nine RBI, 13 runs scored and 10 walks in his first 19 games of the season. A big weekend could be in store for Schwarber, as he'll get a three-game series at home against a Chicago White Sox club that holds the seventh-worst ERA (4.46) and sixth-worst WHIP (1.40) in the major leagues this year. He did go hitless in 10 at-bats against Chicago last year, though.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves. The veteran slugger deposited a Chris Sale fastball into the seats for his first homer of the season. Schwarber will be his classic self in 2024, offering monstrous power numbers at the expense of his batting average. The 31-year-old can stay locked into fantasy lineups moving forward.

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that he expects outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) to play in the Grapefruit League contest on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox after he was scratched from the lineup on Wednesday versus the Detroit Tigers as a precaution due to right-groin tightness. "He said he felt fine to play, but I pulled him out just as a precaution," Thomson said. The 31-year-old left-handed slugger seems to be just fine and will be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season at the end of March. Schwarber has carried one of the lowest batting averages in recent seasons among regular starters, but his elite power production and RBI opportunities in a strong Phillies lineup make him worth of being a No. 2 fantasy outfielder.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber (groin) is being scratched from Wednesday's Grapefruit League lineup against the Detroit Tigers due to right-groin tightness. He's being considered day-to-day. It's something to keep an eye on, but the 31-year-old left-handed slugger is probably fine and should be ready for Opening Day on March 28. When healthy, Schwarber will mostly be Philly's designated hitter while batting leadoff, despite the fact that the two-time All-Star hit under .200 last year. It's a tradeoff the Phillies are willing to take. Schwarber has led the league in each of the last two years in strikeouts but has also hit 93 home runs and driven in 198 RBI. As long as you make up for the batting average drain elsewhere, Schwarber is as good of a power source as a No. 2 fantasy outfielder as there is.
