Mon Jun 27 202213:40Kyle Schwarber Homers, Drives In Four
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber had another strong game Sunday, going 2-for-5 with home run, a double, and four RBI in an 8-5 victory over the San Diego Padres. Schwarber now has 21 home runs on the season. 11 of those long balls have come in his last 30 games, a span during which Schwarber has slashed .248/.380/.593. The Philadelphia offense may take a dip with Bryce Harper (hand) expected to miss time, but Schwarber will continue to contribute major power for fantasy managers.

Sat May 28 202209:14Kyle Schwarber Continues To Struggle
On Friday, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk against his favorite team to torment, the New York Mets. Schwarber is now batting a putrid .190/.306/.418 on the season, though he has 10 homers and 22 RBI. After batting just .167 in April, May hasn't been much better where he is hitting .207 over 87 at-bats. Despite the continued struggles and poor start to the 2022 campaign, managers should remain patient with Schwarber. He is coming off the best campaign of his career in 2021 in which he slashed .266/.374/.554 with 32 homers and 71 RBI in 471 plate appearances with the Nationals and Red Sox.

Mon May 16 202212:44Kyle Schwarber Showing Positive Signs
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber hasn't quite lived up to expectations so far in 2022, but he's showing some positive signs over his past few games. Schwarber has reached base in each of the last four games, with two homers and five RBI in that span. He has been a bit unlucky, with just a .196 BABIP thus far, but he continues to have a strong walk rate with 17 free passes in 139 plate appearances. Schwarber is a very solid bat in a strong lineup, and he'll only provide more power as the weather warms up. Fantasy managers should hold steady.

Tue Apr 19 202200:45Kyle Schwarber Continues To Struggle Monday
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber continued his slow start to the season in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Rockies, going 0-for-4. Schwarber was meant to bring pop to the Phillies' lineup when he signed a four-year, $79 million contract with them this off-season. However, he has slashed just .125/.205/.300 with four RBI in his first 44 plate appearances. He does have two home runs and the season is early, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry just yet. Hopefully, he can take advantage of the thin air in the remainder of the series at Coors Field.

Fri Apr 8 202219:11Kyle Schwarber Begins His Philly Career With A Bang
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber made a good first impression with his new team, hitting a home run to lead off Friday's Opening Day matchup against the Oakland Athletics. He later added a walk and an RBI single, helping the club in their 9-5 victory. Schwarber looks to be a valuable addition to the Phillies lineup. He had a nice Spring Training, producing a .895 OPS despite his .207 batting average and crushed three home runs in the process. Last season, the slugger slashed .266/.374/.554 with 32 HRs, 76 runs, 71 RBI, and one stolen base across 113 games. Now that Schwarber plays in one of the friendliest ballparks for hitters, he should be able to keep the momentum going from 2021.

Wed Mar 16 202210:35Kyle Schwarber Signs With The Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies and free-agent outfielder Kyle Schwarber agreed to a four-year contract on Wednesday. According to Jayson Stark of The Athletic, it's a four-year deal worth up to $20 million annually. The 29-year-old will join a loaded Philadelphia Phillies lineup, including Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto, and Rhys Hoskins. Schwaber slashed .266/.374/.554 slash line with 32 home runs, 76 runs, and 71 RBI across 471 plate appearances for the Red Sox/Nationals in 2021. The new Phillies slugger consistently mashes 30 home runs, and his power bat should fit in nicely playing half of his games in hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park. Schwarber is 37th among all outfielders in the latest Rotoballer rankings, but expect that number to rise with the latest news.

Tue Mar 15 202220:16Blue Jays Feeling Better About Kyle Schwarber
The Toronto Blue Jays believe they have a better chance of landing free-agent outfielder Kyle Schwarber than they do of landing first baseman Freddie Freeman, according to sources of The Athletic. Ken Rosenthal reported this sentiment on Twitter and also added that competition "remains intense" for Schwarber, as the Philadelphia Phillies and other teams are still pursuing him actively. Schwarber split the 2021 season between the Washington Nationals and Boston Red Sox. In total, he played in 113 games and slashed .266/.374/.554 with 32 home runs, 71 RBI and 76 runs. As usual, he was far more effective against righties than he was against lefties. He had a slugging percentage of just .398 against southpaws while he slugged .623 against righties.

Mon Mar 14 202222:00Blue Jays Making Push For Kyle Schwarber
The Toronto Blue Jays are making a strong push for outfielder Kyle Schwarber. They are reportedly one of the frontrunners to land the slugging outfielder. The 29-year-old hit .266/.374//.554 with 32 home runs and 71 RBI between the Washington Nationals and Boston Red Sox last season. He was a first time All-Star who is also drawing interest from the Philadelphia Phillies, Colorado Rockies, and Miami Marlins. Wherever he lands, Schwarber is going to have a significant role. The Marlins seem like the worst fit out of all the interested teams. Fantasy managers should stay tuned over the next few days.

Tue Feb 1 202209:52Colorado Rockies Showing Interest In Kyle Schwarber
The Colorado Rockies have shown interest in free-agent outfielder Kyle Schwarber. According to Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post, the Rockies could likely make a run at Schwarber and play him at DH, first base, and left field. Schwarber slashed .266/.374/554 with 32 home runs in 113 games with the Boston Red Sox in 2021. There is no doubt that his power upside would be immense if he made his way to Coors Field in 2022.

Fri Nov 5 202112:09Kyle Schwarber Declines Option, Hits Free Agency
Boston Red Sox first baseman/outfielder Kyle Schwarber declined his mutual option Friday, making him a free agent.

Schwarber appeared in 113 games in 2021, slashing .266/.374/.554 with 32 homers, 71 RBI, and 76 runs scored. He is positioned as one of the top bats on the market, even moreso with the designated hitter seeming sure to be in play for the National League. He's a borderline top-100 fantasy player heading into 2022.

He'll be a major boon to MLB and fantasy rosters next season wherever he ends up.

Mon Oct 11 202111:31Kyle Schwarber Hits Leadoff Homer in Game 3
Boston Red Sox first baseman/outfielder Kyle Schwarber led off again Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays and the right-handed Drew Rasmussen, and he provided an important boost to the offense, hitting a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning as part of a 3-for-5 day with an additional run scored before being removed for a pinch-runner. Schwarber has slashed .375/.444/.750 with two home runs through 18 plate appearances in four playoff games. He's a strong DFS option for as long as the Red Sox stick around, and he'll enter 2022 a top power option.

Fri Oct 8 202116:51Kyle Schwarber Reaches Base Twice, Swipes A Bag
Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber swiped a base in Thursday's series-opening game against the Tampa Bay Rays, and if you bet on that as the offensive highlight for Boston heading into the game, you're probably much richer than you started. Schwarber went 2-for-4 and the Red Sox were shut out in a 5-0 loss. He'll be in the lineup again Friday, either at designated hitter or first base, depending on J.D. Martinez's (ankle) status. Shane Baz is a tough matchup, but the lefty swinging Schwarber should be a top option for DFS lineups.

Fri Oct 8 202116:25Kyle Schwarber To Bat Leadoff In Game 2
Boston Red Sox first baseman/outfielder Kyle Schwarber will bat leadoff in Game 2 of the ALDS against Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. Enrique Hernandez will hit second in the game. There's still no decision as to whether J.D. Martinez (ankle) will be in the starting lineup for the game so the team's official lineup has yet to be released. Schwarber has never faced the left-handed McClanahan and he has always struggled against lefties. This year, he posted a .788 OPS against lefties while having a far superior .990 against righties.

Wed Sep 29 202118:40Kyle Schwarber On The Bench Wednesday
Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber isn't in the lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Baltimore Orioles and left-handed starter Zac Lowther. Schwarber is batting .266 with a .367 on-base percentage, 32 home runs, and a stolen base in 452 plate appearances this season. Boston is starting Alex Verdugo, Enrique Hernandez, and Hunter Renfroe from left to right in the outfield against the Orioles. Verdugo and Renfroe are likely rostered in most leagues, but Hernandez could be worth a look as a streaming option in deeper leagues. The veteran is batting .251 with a .337 on-base percentage, 18 home runs, and a stolen base in 561 plate appearances this season. He's hitting leadoff on Wednesday.

Tue Sep 28 202122:48Kyle Schwarber Crushes 32nd Homer
Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-2 with a homer and a walk during a 4-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. The 28-year-old connected off of Orioles starting pitcher Bruce Zimmerman during the second inning for a solo blast. The 2021 All-Star has had a terrific season, posting 32 HR, 71 RBI, 74 R, and a stolen base with a .266/.367/.928 line across 387 at-bats. For the 2022 season, Schwarber's landing spot during free agency could impact his fantasy prospects. However, with the new collective bargaining agreement on the horizon, there's a chance a universal designated hitter could be put in place, increasing Schwarber's potential suitors and value.

Schwarber has slashed .304/.407/.696 in 23 at-bats over his last seven games, and is a dominant fantasy option down the stretch.
