Schwarber (hamstring) recently experienced tightness in his left groin and will have his rehab work scaled back, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber ramped up his rehab program this week to participating in running and fielding drills while working his way back from a right hamstring strain, but he'll reduce the intensity of those efforts since the groin issue surfaced. The setback isn't expected to significantly delay the 28-year-old's return from the injured list, but it's obviously a concerning development that he's now dealing with injuries in both thighs.

Schwarber (hamstring) ran the bases at Comerica Park on Wednesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Schwarber wasn't able to run the bases at full speed, he took grounders at first base afterward. Assuming he feels good after participating in baseball activities, the 28-year-old is expected to begin a brief rehab assignment soon.

Schwarber (hamstring) isn't expected to require a lengthy rehab assignment, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Alex Cora also mentioned that Schwarber had a productive workout Monday at first base, a position at which he will try to learn and maximize playing time with the Red Sox. An exact start date for the slugger's rehab assignment should become clear within a week or so.

Schwarber (hamstring) has been taking batting practice and expects to begin a minor-league rehab assignment soon, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hitting doesn't appear to be an issue at this point for Schwarber, who has been taking batting practice for a few weeks now. Rather, fielding and running without hamstring discomfort are the hurdles he must overcome before returning to the field. The Red Sox figure to be cautious with their newly acquired slugger's hamstring, especially if they're planning to deploy him at first base, where he's only played one game in his big-league career.

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.

Schwarber (hamstring) will be traded from the Nationals to the Red Sox in exchange for Aldo Ramirez (elbow) on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber is the latest player to be dealt by the Nationals, following the departures ofMax Scherzer, Trea Turner (COVID-19) and Brad Hand earlier in the day. He's been sidelined since July 3 with a right hamstring strain but has recovered enough to jog and take batting practice recently. There has not been a concrete timetable for his return, though the Red Sox must be fairly confident that he can hit the field soon enough to make a significant impact in the playoff race.

Schwarber (hamstring) took batting practice at Camden Yards on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber suffered a significant hamstring strain in early July but continues to make progress. It's possible he could return sooner than originally expected, though the Nationals have yet to provide a concrete timetable.

Schwarber (hamstring) was seen jogging in the outfield ahead of Wednesday's game against Miami, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber has been dealing with a significant hamstring strain since early July, but it was encouraging to see him participate in some light activities Wednesday. He wasn't running with much intensity, but a better idea of his return timetable could come into focus once he's able to increase his activity level.

Schwarber was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber was diagnosed with a significant strain after he underwent an MRI on Saturday, so his placement on the injured list doesn't come as a surprise. The 28-year-old said he won't require surgery to address the issue, although he'll likely miss more than the minimum of 10 days while he recovers. Gerardo Parra could serve as the primary left fielder going forward, while Alcides Escobar was acquired from the Royals and added to the active roster as part of a corresponding move.

Manager Dave Martinez said Saturday that Schwarber (hamstring) is dealing with a significant strain, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber suffered the injury while rounding first base in Friday's loss to the Dodgers, and he was limping heavily as he left the field in the bottom of the second inning. Gerardo Parra should see increased playing time in left field going forward, and the Nationals are currently evaluating other options who could help fill the void in Schwarber's absence. Martinez said that the 28-year-old will "definitely" warrant more than a trip to the 10-day injured list, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports. As a result, the left fielder could be sidelined until at least September if he's ultimately placed on the 60-day IL.
