Schwarber went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, his 20th of the season, in Saturday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber reached the 20 home run plateau for the second straight year, and he's got a shot at matching the 30 he hit in 2017. The 25-year-old has also made strides with his batting average this year, as he's now hitting .250 after batting just .211 last season.

His 16.6 percent walk rate ranks fifth among all qualified hitters, and his defense has somewhat surprisingly graded out well, with his 6.7 UZR ranking second among all outfielders.

Schwarber is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Cubs manager Joe Maddon will hold out of a trio of lefty-hitting mainstays in the lineup (Schwarber, Anthony Rizzo and Jason Heyward) with southpaw Francisco Liriano on the hill for the Tigers. After a trying 2017 campaign, Schwarber has re-emerged as a force in the heart of the order for Chicago with an .876 OPS across 295 plate appearances, but he has yet to completely solve same-handed pitching. He maintains a .283 slugging mark and has struck out 31.6 percent of the time versus southpaws this season.
