Boston chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said the Red Sox will look at Schwarber (hamstring) at first base, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox targeted a left-handed hitting first baseman, but short of landing Anthony Rizzo, they settled on Schwarber, who has a comparable or perhaps better bat. It's uncertain when Schwarber will be able to start training at first base; he's estimated to be 10 to 14 days away from playing as he recovers from a hamstring strain that's held him out since early July. Schwarber won't be solely used at first base and is expected to rotate at first, DH and left field.
