Schwarber will sit Thursday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber will get a rest with lefty Austin Gomber on the mound for Colorado. After going hitless in his last two games, he's now hitting just .164/.273/.388 on the year, though he does at least have four home runs. Matt Vierling will take over in left field.

Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a two-run double and a walk in Monday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber drilled a two-run double off Kyle Freeland in the third inning, ending a three-game stretch without any RBI. The 29-year-old is slashing just .177/.261/.419 through 69 plate appearances. He's an improved 8-for-30 (.267) over his last eight outings, however.

Schwarber was ejected from Sunday's game against the Brewers in the bottom of the ninth inning for arguing balls and strikes, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber took a called third strike off the outside corner in the bottom of the ninth and was immediately thrown out of the game after throwing his bat and helmet. He went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts prior to his ejection with two outs in the bottom of the inning. Assuming he doesn't face further discipline from the league, Schwarber should be available for Monday's series opener against the Rockies.

Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, an additional RBI and two additional runs during Wednesday's 9-6 win against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber has endured some early-season struggles but now has home runs in back-to-back contests in Colorado. The veteran slugger still has some work to do to bring up his slash line, which sits at .170/.264/.447 through 12 games.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in a 6-5 loss Tuesday in Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber hit a two-run blast in the sixth off lefty Ty Blach and added a RBI single in the eighth. His home run was just his second hit, and first home run, off a left-handed pitcher as a Phillie. Since dropping out of the leadoff spot, the slugger has gone 4-for-12 with two home runs.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in an 11-3 loss Sunday in Miami.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the season with a .094 batting average in the leadoff spot, Schwarber was moved to fifth in the lineup and had his best performance since Opening Day. He singled in the second and hit a solo blast in the eighth, snapping a 1-for-28 streak where he struck out 12 times in the process. The 29-year-old has appeared in left field in all but two of those contests.

Schwarber will sit for the first time this season Saturday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber homered in his first plate appearance as a Phillie but has since gone just 2-for-31 at the plate. He'll get the chance to clear his head Saturday and will avoid a matchup against tough lefty Trevor Rogers. Nick Castellanos will move out to left field, with Alec Bohm serving as the designated hitter.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a walk in a 9-5 win Friday over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber led off and homered in his first plate appearance as a Phillie. He later walked and scored in the sixth and added a RBI single in the eighth. Following a breakout season in 2021 that included being named to the National League All-Star team, Schwarber signed a four-year, $79 million contract with Philadelphia. The leftfielder is no stranger to the leadoff role and should continue to hit atop the potent Philadelphia lineup.

Schwarber and the Phillies agreed to terms on a contract Wednesday, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The deal is worth $79 million over four years, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber had a number of suitors vying for his services in free agency, but the prospect of teaming up with reigning NL MVP Bryce Harper in addition to reuniting with his hitting coach from Washington in 2021 (Kevin Long) made Philadelphia an ideal landing spot for the 29-year-old. Though Schwarber has made strides defensively since entering the big leagues in 2015, he could be playing in left field on a part-time basis while seeing a good deal of starts at designated hitter now that the DH spot is universal. Wherever he ends up settling, Schwarber should slot into the heart of the order and provide an ideal power-hitting complement to Harper. Had injuries not intervened and limited him to 113 games, Schwarber would have set career marks in nearly every category last season. Between stops in Washington and Boston, he delivered a .266/.374/.554 slash line to go with 32 home runs, 76 runs and 71 RBI across 471 plate appearances.

Schwarber declined his portion of the $11.5 million mutual option with the Red Sox for 2022 on Friday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber had the best OPS of his career at .928 during 2021 to go along with 32 homers and 71 RBI in 113 games, so it's hardly a surprise he's opted to return to the open market. The 28-year-old saw some time at first base after being acquired by the Red Sox at the trade deadline, and that versatility should benefit him some as a free agent. Boston has shown interest in re-signing the slugger, though he should receive significant interest on the open market.
