Tue May 9 202321:58Kyle Schwarber Exits Tuesday's Game Prematurely
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber left Tuesday's contest against the Toronto Blue Jays early after fouling a pitch off his foot in the sixth. According to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, he is dealing with a bruised left foot, but X-rays came back negative. There will be more news to come following the game. Schwarber has gotten off to a slow start, slashing .188/.307/.406 with eight homers, 19 runs, and 16 RBI over 35 games. The 30-year-old has been one of the most prolific power hitters in the game since debuting in 2015, swatting 207 career dingers in 854 games. If Schwarber needs to miss time, it'll be a big blow for fantasy managers, specifically in the power and counting stats departments.

Sun May 7 202308:08Kyle Schwarber Goes Hitless; Remains Buy-Low Option
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber went hitless (0-for-5) in the team's defeat to the Red Sox on Saturday. It was the fourth consecutive game that Schwarber has gone without a knock, enough to help form an ugly 0-for-19 slump across that stretch. The 30-year-old slugger has just one hit, a home run on May 1, over his last 27 at-bats now. That makes the reigning Silver Slugger an attractive buy-low fantasy commodity, however, while his asking price is still in a depreciated state. Schwarber is certain to hurt the batting average category and loses a bit of appeal in leagues that don't count walks, but his power potential (46 homers in 2022) is undeniable atop a loaded Phillies lineup.

Tue Mar 21 202316:43Kyle Schwarber A Mixed Bag In WBC
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber has been hit or miss in the World Baseball Classic thus far. Schwarber is 2-for-11 but has four walks. One of his hits was a home run and he has three RBI and three runs in the tournament. He has played in four games heading into Tuesday's finals matchup against Team Japan. The lefty has a .308 average and .438 on-base percentage in 13 spring training at-bats. Batting average will never be Schwarber's forte, as he hit just .218 last season, but he did hit 46 home runs and drive in 94. He also stole 10 bases in 2022 and plays in a stacked lineup that should help pad his counting stats again this season. Look to draft him in the top 45 while racking up the homers.

Tue Oct 4 202216:45Kyle Schwarber Resting Against Astros
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Astros. The Phillies will give Schwarber the day off after they clinched a postseason berth with a victory on Monday night. He's currently riding a modest four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 8-for-13 (.615) with four home runs, one triple, seven RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base. The Phillies will be hoping he can keep that up with the playoffs beginning this Friday. With Schwarber on the bench, Matt Vierling is starting in left field and batting seventh against Astros right-hander Justin Verlander. Vierling does have multi-hit showings in back-to-back games, but he's also gone 4-for-17 with a homer and three RBI in his last seven games.

Tue Oct 4 202200:20Kyle Schwarber Hits Two More Homers Monday
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber continued to flex his muscles in Monday's 3-0 win over the Astros. The 29-year-old went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and two walks. Schwarber has more or less been what fantasy managers had hoped for, compiling a .219/.324/.506 slash line with 46 HR, 94 RBI, and a surprising 10 stolen bases this season. The batting average is an issue, but his elite power production makes up for it. The power alone will make Schwarber a higher-end fantasy option in 2023, particularly in roto leagues, and the potential for some stolen bases is an added bonus.

Sun Oct 2 202200:59Kyle Schwarber Blasts Two Homers, Steals Home Saturday
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber had a big day Saturday against the Washington Nationals. The 29-year-old slugger stole home in game one of the doubleheader, but the Phils ended up losing 13-4. In game two of their doubleheader, Schwarber took matters into his own hands, homering twice. Overall, Schwarber went four-for-seven on the day, adding three runs and two RBI to his two homers and stolen base. Schwarber has been a true three-category monster this season, racking up 44 big flies, 97 RBI, and 90 runs, while also chipping in 10 stolen bases. The only knock against his season is his .210 average, but that was to be expected from Schwarbs. He will be taken with a high draft pick next season.

Thu Sep 29 202221:52Kyle Schwarber Reaches Base Twice On Thursday
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber was 0-for-2 in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs but did walk twice. He's been struggling to hit recently, batting .185 in his last 15 games, but still has five home runs in that span. Overall, it's been a productive season for Schwarber, who's slugged 42 HRs and has slashed .212/.315/.483 with 95 runs, 87 RBI, and nine stolen bases over 149 games. The lefty is a must-start in every league unless fantasy managers are going all in for batting average.

Fri Aug 26 202211:50Kyle Schwarber Slugs 35th Home Run Thursday
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run for his 35th long ball of the season in Thursday's 4-0 shutout win over the Cincinnati Reds. He also struck out twice in the game. The 29-year-old had gone 14 games without clearing the fences, so hopefully this gets him back on track for the stretch run in the final month of the regular season. The two-time All-Star is hitting just .213 in 442 at-bats with a .314 on-base percentage, but his power stroke (35 homers, 73 RBI) makes him a must-start in single-year fantasy formats. Schwarber has also tacked on 76 runs scored and six stolen bases in 510 plate appearances over 119 games in his first year in Philly.

Maton is hitting .412 on the year, but he's had just 19 plate appearances with two home runs and eight RBI in a small sample size. He'll be a low-upside dart throw in DFS.
