Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a solo home in Saturday's 10-1 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber hit his 27th home run of the season in the ninth inning with the Cubs trailing 10-0. While it wasn't a particularly clutch long ball, the blast did push the slugger past his home run total from last year. Schwarber's career best for home runs in a season is the 30 he hit in 2017, and he has a good chance of surpassing that figure this year.

Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 10-1 rout of the A's.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has now matched his power production from last year with 26 homers, but he's done it in 28 fewer games. Schwarber remains a fairly one-dimensional fantasy asset with a .234/.330/.495 slash line, but he's closing in on his second career 30-HR campaign.

Schwarber went 3-for-3 with two home runs, four runs scored and seven RBI in Sunday's 11-4 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

It was a monster day for Schwarber, who is now up to 24 home runs and 54 RBI this season after hitting a grand slam and a three-run bomb, both against Milwaukee starter Zach Davies. It was also the second straight day that the lefty slugger hit eighth, as the Cubs have seemingly decided to try some different options in the leadoff spot. Schwarber could force himself up a little higher in the order with a hot stretch at the plate.

Schwarber is starting in left field and hitting eighth Saturday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber is hitting just .190 with a .244 OBP in 13 games since the All-Star break, so he'll drop to the bottom third of the order while Robes Garcia gets a turn as the leadoff man.
