Schwarber went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two RBI and a walk in Monday's 3-2 victory over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber was responsible for two of his team's three runs in this one. He singled home a run in the bottom of the third and mashed his 13th homer of the season in the seventh to put his team ahead. Schwarber has now homered three times in the last two games and appears to be seeing the ball better at the dish after heading into Monday's contest just 7-for-37 through his first 11 games of the month.

Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in the 2-0 win over the Giants in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber opened the bottom of the first inning with a long ball off Kevin Gausman, ultimately providing Washington with all the offense it would need in the first half of the twin bill. The long ball broke an 11-game streak without a homer for the outfielder and was his first time leaving the yard since he moved into his new role as the leadoff hitter earlier this week.

Schwarber is batting leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Per Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com, this will be the outfielder's first time batting atop the Nationals' lineup, though he did do so previously with the Cubs. He'll look to break a 14-at-bat hitless skid in his new role.

Schwarber (knee) went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 2-1 win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber entered the weekend questionable to play after suffering from a stiff knee Thursday, but he was able to return Friday. That said, it wouldn't be shocking to see him get a game off in the near future. His 0-fer effort Friday snapped the 28-year-old's six-game hitting streak.

Schwarber (knee) is starting in left field and batting fifth Friday against the Phillies, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old sat out Thursday after suffering a knee injury on a diving catch attempt during Wednesday's contest, but he'll rejoin the lineup after a one-game absence. Schwarber has a .968 OPS with six homers over his past 20 games and will attempt to pick up where he left off before the injury.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said after Thursday's 5-1 loss to Atlanta that Schwarber's right knee felt "stiff" while he took swings in the batting cage during the game, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber's knee issue stems from Wednesday's game, when he sustained the injury while diving after a flyball in the outfield. Though Schwarber was held out of the lineup for the series finale Thursday, Martinez was hopeful the 28-year-old might be able to pinch hit, but he ultimately wasn't available. The Nationals will re-evaluate Schwarber on Friday before determining his availability for the team's three-game series in Philadelphia.

Schwarber (knee) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber left Wednesday's game after injuring his knee on a diving catch attempt, so it's no surprise to see him rest for the early afternoon game the next day. He'll be available as a pinch hitter Thursday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports, which suggests he's unlikely to miss too much more time. Josh Harrison moves out to left field in his absence, with Jordy Mercer starting at second base.

Schwarber's knee "locked up on him" when he made the diving attempt Wednesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Martinez said Schwarber was walking normally following the game. His morning evaluation should be more telling, but it appears the 28-year-old avoided any significant injury.
