Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber came up with a big hit at the plate during Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. In the second inning, Schwarber took right-hander Kevin Gausman deep for a three-run home run to give his team a 4-0 lead. He was fairly quiet the rest of the game as he finished 1-for-4 with one homer, three RBI, and a walk in the win. Schwarber has now homered in back-to-back games and is a threat to go deep every time he comes up to the plate. This blasts puts him one behind Shohei Ohtani for the National League lead in homer

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber smacked his 21st home run of the season in the team's 7-2 victory against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. The 431-foot solo shot off right-hander Ben Brown was Schwarber's lone hit during a 1-for-3 afternoon, though he did pick up a walk, a stolen base, and an additional run scored. While Schwarber has gotten off to a horrid start in June (5-for-38 with 18 strikeouts and five walks), he's still hitting a prolific .246/.377/.544 with 47 RBI and 48 runs in 300 plate appearances. As a bonus for fantasy managers, the 32-year-old has stolen five bases and is on pace for just the second season of double-digit steals in his career.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in his team's 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves. The Phillies and their rivals split the doubleheader on Thursday, with the Braves taking the latter half of the twin-billing 9-3. Schwarber was held hitless through his first three at-bats of the first outing, but continued his sensational season with long ball No. 19 off Atlanta reliever Aaron Bummer in the bottom of the seventh. The former first-round pick golfed a hanging curveball 438 feet into the upper deck in right field to give Philadelphia a 4-2 lead. He's been excellent in 2025 -- tied for second in the league with his home run total, and slashing a robust .252/.394/.569.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber homered, doubled, and walked once, collecting three RBI and scoring twice in Saturday's 9-6 extra-innings win over the Athletics. His double in the top of the 11th inning proved to be the game-winner, as it drove in two runs and broke a 6-6 tie. Schwarber is having a phenomenal season to this point, now with 18 home runs, 40 RBI, 40 runs scored, four steals, all while hitting .255 with a .418 wOBA, and 168 wRC+. The veteran has played in 52 games thus far and has been on base via hit or walk in all but two, posting a .397 OBP. All of this puts him comfortably within the top 10 in fantasy scoring this season, and there are no signs of slowing down. He'll look to keep rolling on Sunday against RHP Gunnar Hoglund, who has allowed nine earned runs on 13 hits and five walks over his last two starts (10 IP).

Philadelphia Phillies DH Kyle Schwarber had a productive game in his team's 7-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk, and two runs scored in the winning effort. The veteran slugger's homer gave the Phillies an insurance run in the seventh inning, pushing their lead to 5-1. Schwarber is now hitting .257 with 17 homers, 35 runs, 37 RBI, and four steals across 175 at-bats this season. He is hitting just .192 over his past seven games, but fantasy gamers need to keep him in those starting lineups for his power upside alone.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber had a historic night in Monday's 9-3 win over the Rockies. Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, and two strikeouts. The 32-year-old obliterated a ninth-inning Scott Alexander sinker, sending it 466 feet off of the right-field upper-deck facing for the 300th long ball of his career. Schwarber has been an elite source of power throughout his fantasy career, and 2025 has been no different. He is now slashing .257/.389/.573 with 16 HR, 36 RBI, and four stolen bases in 208 plate appearances. He is currently second in baseball in HR and has a decent batting average to go with it, with a bonus of some surprise stolen bases.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber provided all the offense for his team on Sunday, smacking two homers and driving in three runs in a 3-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Schwarber hit a solo shot in the second frame and then went deep again in the eighth, this time with a runner on. The 32-year-old slugger is now hitting .269 with a .998 OPS, 29 runs, 14 homers, 32 RBI, and four steals. With the significantly improved average and occasional steal, Schwarber has somehow become a premier five-category contributor this season. Regression in the batting average and steal departments is expected, but if he can even remain average in those two, then he could be one of the best players in fantasy. To help Schwarbs' case even further, it looks like he will gain outfield eligibility on many platforms soon.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in a 7-2 win over the Nationals on Wednesday. It was his ninth home run of the season, and he is now slashing .245/.398/.538 on the season. The slugger has taken a step forward in plate discipline through the first month of the year, as his 18.0% walk rate and 21.8% strikeout rate are both better than their 2024 counterparts of 15.3% and 28.5%, respectively. He is also seeing more time in the cleanup spot instead of being the primary leadoff hitter, which has allowed him to drive in 23 runs in 30 games. He remains one of the premier sources of power for fantasy.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber is making the start in left field and will bat third for the Phillies on Wednesday against the visiting San Francisco Giants and left-hander Robbie Ray at Citizens Bank Park. Schwarber made only five starts in the outfield last year, and this will be his first start in the outfield in 2025. The 32-year-old left-handed slugger has had a strong start to his fourth season in Philadelphia, as he enters Wednesday's contest slashing .267/.421/.617 with a 1.038 OPS, a league-leading six home runs, a double, triple, 12 RBI, a stolen base and 15 runs scored in his first 17 games played. Fantasy managers shouldn't be getting their hopes up that Schwarbs will suddenly regain outfield eligibility this year. In DFS contests, fantasy managers will probably want to avoid the power threat against a tough lefty. Schwarber is hitless in four career at-bats against Ray.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-5 with a home run and a walk in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves. The 32-year-old walloped a Spencer Schwellenbach fastball 429 feet over the right-center field wall in the top of the third to tie the game at one. It was his sixth long ball of the season, tying him with New York Yankees' Aaron Judge and the Athletic's Tyler Soderstrom for the league lead. Schwarber has been excellent in 2025, bolstering a .283/.411/.739 slash line with 12 RBI and 12 runs scored. The lefty slugger bears a robust 61.8% hard-hit rate and 96.8 mph exit velocity, placing him in the top 3% of all MLB hitters in both metrics.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber went 3-for-3 with a home run and a triple in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves. He drove in three runs, scored twice, and drew a walk in the contest. Schwarber had another two hard-hit balls in this one -- both off Braves pitcher Chris Sale. His triple was a 105.1 MPH laser that bounced off the base of the right-center-field wall. Then, he blasted a Sale four-seam fastball 462 feet at 116.7 MPH over the right field wall in the top of the fifth inning. The 32-year-old has been blistering at the dish, batting .324 (12-for-37) with one double, one triple, and five homers -- tying him for second in the MLB.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-1 win over the Rockies. The 434-foot blast was Schwarber's third of the season and he's now up to six RBI. The 32-year-old is coming off a 38-home run campaign in 2024, with ATC projections forecasting another 36 in 2025. The left-handed hitter is hitting well to begin the year, now 6-for-17 (.353) on the young season. With the Phillies having an off day on Tuesday, Schwarber will get back to work on Wednesday against Kyle Freeland and the Rockies, a pitcher whom he's not had success against in the past, going just 1-for-12 with six strikeouts in his career. Season-long managers will continue to fire him up, but he might be an avoid for DFS.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber has hit leadoff in almost 85 percent of his plate appearances since joining the team, but he could be moved down to third or fourth in the batting order in 2025. If that happens, shortstop Trea Turner would lead off, with first baseman Bryce Harper likely hitting second. Third baseman Alec Bohm and Schwarber could be interchangeable in the No. 3 and No. 4 spots. In addition to a possible lineup change, Schwarber has been working three times a week at first base with infield coach Bobby Dickerson. The Phillies want to give themselves another option when Harper needs a day off or if he gets injured. Schwarber has not played first since starting nine games there with Boston in 2021. A move to the leadoff spot for the 31-year-old lefty slugger would drop his run production but boost his RBI opportunities for fantasy managers.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber hit his 36th home run Saturday in a 6-3 loss to the New York Mets. It was his first homer in his last seven games, and his fourth in his last 15 games. On the season, the veteran is hitting .251 with 36 home runs, 99 RBI, five stolen bases and 106 runs scored. The leadoff hitter will look to continue his terrific season in the series finale tomorrow afternoon. Schwarber will look to have a hot final week leading into the playoffs, where the Phillies hope to have a long run into October.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (elbow) is serving as the DH and is batting in his customary leadoff spot on Friday against the division-rival New York Mets and left-hander Jose Quintana at Citizens Bank Park. Schwarber injured his elbow during Tuesday's game while diving back into first base and was subsequently scratched from Wednesday's lineup as a result. But after a scheduled day off on Thursday, the 31-year-old is ready to roll for a crucial series this weekend against the Mets. Not only is Schwarber a must-start in all fantasy leagues when he's in the Phillies' lineup, but he has a career .333 average and an .889 OPS with a homer and four RBI in 18 at-bats against Quintana. The two-time All-Star swings and misses a lot, but he's also leading the league with 98 walks and has hit 35 homers and driven in 95 in 134 games in 2024.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (elbow) was scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup at Citizens Bank Park against the Tampa Bay Rays. Schwarber still feels something in his left elbow when he swings after leaving Tuesday's game early after diving back to first base on a pickoff. Manager Rob Thomson said he isn't concerned about it, and Schwarber could be back in the lineup on Friday for the start of a big series against the division-rival New York Mets after a scheduled day off on Thursday. The 31-year-old All-Star slugger did go deep on Tuesday before departing the contest early, and fantasy managers should consider him to be day-to-day for now. If he cannot return to action this weekend, then you can start worrying about his status the rest of the way. Bryce Harper is the DH on Wednesday, with Kody Clemens starting at first against the Rays.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (elbow) left Tuesday's contest early against the Tampa Bay Rays at Citizens Bank Park with left-elbow discomfort, according to the Phillies. Schwarber appeared to injure his elbow when sliding back into first base on a pickoff attempt by the Rays catcher. He did damage at the plate before departing, though, going 1-for-1 with his 35th homer of the season (a solo shot) while also scoring a run and walking once. He was replaced at DH by bench player Buddy Kennedy. Expect the 31-year-old slugger to undergo testing after the game, so we won't know his status moving forward until then. Hopefully, it's just a day-to-day thing and not a serious injury. If it is serious, it could jeopardize Schwarber's available for the rest of the regular season and the playoffs. Both Kody Clemens and Weston Wilson could see more at-bats if Schwarber misses time.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, and three runs scored in Friday's 16-2 rout over the Marlins. It was Schwarber's fifth home run in his last four games and 33rd of the season. From August 9 to September 1 (22 games), the 31-year-old limped to a .125/.228/.193 slashline, but over the last four games he's gone 10-for-19 (.526) with a pair of doubles, five home runs, 10 RBI, and eight runs scored. The 2x All-Star has authored a .249-33-92-96-5 line hitting atop the Phillies lineup with a .368 wOBA and 137 wRC+.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber provided an offensive explosion in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Blue Jays. Schwarber went 5-for-6 with a single, a double, two solo home runs, a three-run HR, six RBI, and a strikeout. His most important long ball came in the top of the ninth inning when he clobbered a Chad Green fastball into the left-field seats to put the Phillies ahead by two. The 31-year-old has pretty much provided exactly what fantasy managers were hoping for all season long, slashing .245/.369/.474 with 31 HR, 92 runs scored, 88 RBI, and five stolen bases in 591 plate appearances. He has even over-delivered in terms of batting average, although his second-half batting average has been more in line with his career average. Either way, he has been a higher-end fantasy contributor throughout the season.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber clubbed a grand slam in Wednesday night's win over the visiting division-rival Miami Marlins at Citizens Bank Park. Schwarber crushed a grand slam off Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera to left field for his 28th homer of the season, giving the Phillies the lead in the fourth inning of Wednesday's eventual victory. In 17 games since July 27, the hard-hitting All-Star slugger is batting .328 (21-for-64) with nine big flies, 21 RBI, and 16 runs scored as Philadelphia's everyday DH.
