Schwarber has been solid over the month of June, posting a .261 batting average while collecting six home runs and 15 RBI over 23 games.

Theres something positively blissful about scanning your rosters and seeing double-digit or *gasp* single-digit! ranks up-and-down the roster.But lets be clear: these stats are in the past. Theyre already banked. They shouldnt overpower our valuation of them going forward because, really, thats all that matters what are they likely to produce in the future?Think of it as a blank slate. As re-assuring as those high ranks are to see on your team, perhaps theres another one lying in the weeds, p[...]

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber is batting leadoff in Sunday night's game versus Nationals right-hander Jeremy Hellickson. It's the fourth-straight game Schwarber is batting out of the leadoff spot despite hitting just 2-for-11 in the last three games.

Schwarber is in a great spot to contribute to DF[...]
