Schwarber (knee) is expected to serve as the Cubs' designated hitter for Game 1 of the World Series against the Indians, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber participated in an Arizona Fall League game Monday, going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a run. This was apparently enough for the Cubs to pull the trigger and bring him to Cleveland for the series, although no official confirmation has come forth. Things should become completely clear once the lineup for Tuesday's opener is revealed, but things are looking good for the 23-year-old.
