Schwarber will start in left field and bat third in Wednesday's game versus the Giants, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first start in the outfield this season for Schwarber, who made five starts in left field last year. Schwarber's fantasy managers would love for the slugger to gain outfield eligibility, but there's no guarantee it will happen during the 2025 season.

EDGE Analysis
Schwarber delivered a 449-foot moonshot in the third inning, tagging right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach for the righty's first run allowed on the season.

Schwarber went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and drove in two additional runs in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber was able to log a rare triple Tuesday -- his first since 2023 and 13th of his major-league career -- which drove in two runs in the third, and on his next at-bat he took Chris Sale deep for a 462-foot moonshot to center field. Schwarber has started the season slashing .324/.444/.811 with six walks, five home runs and 11 RBI across 45 plate appearances.

Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in a 11-6 win over Washington on Saturday. He also had two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber's 6th inning blast helped put the game out of reach and gave the Phillies a 7-2 lead to help solidify the win. With Edmundo Sosa and Brandon Marsh aboard, Schwarber deposited a Lucas Sims' sweeper into the stands for his second home run in as many games for the Phils. The 32-year-old launched 38 homers in 2024 and is on his way to matching that to begin 2025.

Schwarber 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs scored and one walk in Thursday's 7-3 extra-inning win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Batting out of the No. 4 spot in Philadelphia's lineup, Schwarber played the part of a prototypical cleanup hitter with a go-ahead solo homer in the seventh inning. The star slugger has recorded at least 100 runs scored in each of his past three seasons primarily as a leadoff hitter, but even though Schwarber could have a harder time scoring runs if his move to the middle of the order sticks, he should see plenty of RBI opportunities in a loaded Phillies lineup.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson is considering batting Schwarber third or fourth this season, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber has batted leadoff in 85 percent of his plate appearances with the Phillies, but Thompson is mulling a change atop his batting order. If Thomson does opt to mix things up, he's expected to hit Trea Turner leadoff and Bryce Harper second, with Schwarber and Alec Bohm occupying the next two spots in some order. The potential change would ding Schwarber's runs projection a bit but boost his RBI potential. He's reached the century mark in both categories in each of the last two regular seasons.

Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
He kicked off the afternoon by taking Sean Manaea deep, giving Schwarber his 36th homer of the season and his 15th leadoff homer -- extending the major-league record he set Sept. 10. The veteran slugger is one RBI shy of his second straight 100-RBI campaign, and with seven games left on the Phillies' schedule, he still has an outside shot at his third straight 40-homer season.

Schwarber (elbow) will DH and bat leadoff Friday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to elbow pain stemming from an awkward dive back to first base on a pickoff Tuesday. All indications are that the injury is minor, and he's feeling well enough to play Friday. The 31-year-old has 35 home runs and a .868 OPS on the year.
