Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber got the Cubs on the board with a 398-foot blast to center field on Clayton Kershaw's first pitch of the game. The homer was Schwarber's 15th of the season, three of which have been hit off left-handed pitchers -- two more than he hit off lefties all of last season. After struggling to the tune of a .196 average in May, Schwarber has picked it up in June, hitting .313 (15-for-48) with five home runs and 12 runs batted in.

Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber hit a three-run home run in the second inning, then drove in another run on a sacrifice fly in the fifth. The slugging outfielder is up to 14 home runs and 32 RBI, and he continues to serve as an unorthodox leadoff hitter against right-handed starters.

The performance extended Schwarber's hitting streak to seven games, during which he has hit .423 (11-for-26) with a pair of homers and six runs batted in. His season slash line is now up to .239/.344/.463.

EDGE Analysis

Batting first as has been his norm recently against righty starters, Schwarber hit his 12th home run of the season and fourth in the past 10 games in the fourth inning. The slugging outfielder is only batting .233, but his .338 on-base percentage and .455 slugging percentage have helped offset his low batting average.

Schwarber is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber is riding a five-game hitting streak, a stretch in which he's posted a 1.008 OPS. He'll head to the bench despite a righty (Miles Mikolas) on the mound for the Cardinals. Carlos Gonzalez gets the start in left field.

Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

It was another boom-or-bust night for Schwarber, as he hit his 11th home run of the season but struck out in two of his other three at-bats. Despite a penchant for striking out, the Cubs like Schwarber's power and ability to draw walks, and they've established the lefty outfielder as their preferred leadoff hitter against right-handed starters.

Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

He led off the game with his second long ball in as many nights and 10th of the year. Schwarber's .224/.337/.441 slash line on the year limits his fantasy appeal, but the 26-year-old is at least on pace to match the career-high 30 homers he slugged in 2017.

Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber also struck out twice, so he showed a little bit of everything he's known for. The slugger's approach at the plate doesn't lead to a high batting average, but he can go deep at any moment, as he proved Tuesday with his ninth home run of the season through 49 games.

Schwarber is starting in left field and batting first in Saturday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

As has become the norm recently for the Cubs, Schwarber is hitting leadoff against a right-handed starter. The slugging outfielder doesn't have the speed of a prototypical leadoff hitter, but his ability to draw free passes (15.3 percent walk rate) and hit the ball out of the park make him a unique threat atop the order.

Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber led off the bottom of the first inning with his eighth home run of the season and second in as many days. The slugging outfielder seems to have found a home as a leadoff hitter for the Cubs against right-handed starters, as his ability to draw walks and hit for power make him a threat to start a game.
