Schwarber agreed to a one-year, $7,010,000 deal with the Cubs, avoiding arbitration, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is his second of three arbitration-eligible years before he becomes a free agent. He gets a nice raise from the $3.39 million he earned this past season.

Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs aren't going to the playoffs this year but that's certainly no fault of Schwarber's, as the 26-year-old has put together the best season of his five-year MLB career. The slugger is now up to 38 home runs and 92 RBI with one more game to go Sunday.

Schwarber is not in the lineup Thursday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs are resting most of their starters after getting eliminated from playoff contention Wednesday. As such, Schwarber will give way to Tony Kemp in left field for Thursday's series finale.

Schwarber went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber has been locked in lately, as he now has back-to-back multi-hit efforts, and he's slashing a robust .389/.452/.722 over his last 10 games. The slugger has already set new career highs with 37 home runs and 91 RBI this season, and he should remain a fixture in the middle of the Cubs' lineup in the final week.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber didn't get much support from the rest of the lineup, but that didn't keep the slugger from staying hot at the plate. Over his past 10 games, Schwarber is slashing .324/.381/.622 with a triple, two home runs, three doubles and nine RBI.

Schwarber went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple and two RBI in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber was locked in but unfortunately his teammates were not, as the rest of the lineup went a combined 2-for-28. The slugging outfielder now has two three-hit efforts over his last three starts as he continues to put together a strong campaign.

Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 8-2 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber hit his second home run in as many days and fifth this month in 15 games. The slugger has already set a new career high with 37 home runs this season, and the way he's been swinging the bat lately, 40 long balls is definitely within reach for Schwarber with 12 games left for the Cubs.

Schwarber went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, three runs scored and three total RBI in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a grand slam in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber cleared the bases with a triple in a win Monday and did one better with his Thursday grand slam. Despite a middling .239 batting average, the 26-year-old has been productive with an .857 OPS, 34 home runs and 81 RBI, which all represent new career bests.

Schwarber went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double and a walk in a win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber fell a triple short of hitting for the cycle, collecting his fourth three-hit game of the season in the victory. His homer in the seventh was a shot to right field that traveled 412 feet. The 26-year-old has slugged 33 long balls and driven in 77 runs this season while slashing .236/.329/.515 in 514 plate appearances.
