Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty slugger took Frankie Montas deep to lead off the sixth inning, but it was all the offense the Phillies could muster in a game delayed by nearly seven hours due to rain. Schwarber has a five-game hitting streak going, and he's begun the campaign batting .280 (7-for-25) with two homers, three RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a home run and two total runs in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber occupied his typical leadoff spot Sunday and opened the Phillies offense's afternoon with a 382-foot home run on Chris Sale's second pitch. The homer was an encouraging development for Schwarber after he batted only .188 against left-handed pitching last year. He and the Phillies lineup have a much easier week coming up with series against the Reds and Nationals.

Schwarber (groin) will serve as the Phillies' designated hitter and leadoff batter in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Just as manager Rob Thomson suggested would be the case, Schwarber will return to the lineup one day after being scratched from the starting nine due to right groin tightness. Schwarber has now made six starts as a designated hitter and four in left field through 10 Grapefruit League games, but he's expected to see an even larger share of his playing time in the non-defensive role during the regular season.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said he expects Schwarber (groin) to return to the Grapefruit League lineup Thursday versus the Red Sox, Jayson Stark of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber was a precautionary late scratch from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers after feeling something in his right groin in the weight room, but he's expected to be fine. The designated hitter has had a rough spring so far, going 2-for-24 with 11 strikeouts.

Schwarber was scratched from the Phillies' Grapefruit League lineup Wednesday against the Tigers due to right groin tightness, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear when the injury popped up for the slugger, but the Phillies are referring to him as day-to-day. Schwarber had been slated to serve as the designated hitter Wednesday, which is the slot he's expected to occupy most often this season.

Schwarber went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-0 win over the Diamondbacks in Game 2 of the NLCS.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber officially has a streak going, hitting home runs in back-to-back games. Tuesday's deep shots came off Merrill Kelly in the third and sixth innings as Schwarber took advantage of a few poorly located pitches down the plate. Power is nothing new to the left-hander, who finished second in home runs in the regular season with 47 in 160 games. Schwarber is now slashing .219/.286/.563 this postseason with five runs, four RBI and three home runs in 32 at-bats.

Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber got the scoring going early with his long ball in the first inning, but it ultimately would not spark any momentum for the team. As of the end of Thursday's game, the left-handed slugger was tied with Pete Alonso for second-best in home runs with 46 on the season. This year, he has put together a .197/.344/.473 line in 157 games while eclipsing the century mark in both runs and RBI, with 107 and 101, respectively.

Schwarber is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber will head to the bench for the first time since Aug. 9 after the Phillies punched their ticket to the playoffs with Tuesday's victory. The veteran slugger has clubbed 45 homers but is still hitting just .196 this season, though he slashed .230/.395/.566 during the run of 42 consecutive starts.

Schwarber went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in a 6-1 win against the Cardinals on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber's lone hit of the contest was a three-run blast to right field in the fifth inning that accounted for half of Philadelphia's scoring output. The slugger has gone deep seven times through 15 games in September, posting a .273/.437/.655 slash line, 17 runs and 12 RBI during that stretch. With 44 long balls on the campaign, Schwarber is tied for third in the majors and is just two shy of the career-best mark he established last season. His blast Saturday gave him 97 RBI, setting a new career high.

Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger capped a five-run second inning for the Phillies by crushing a Johnny Cueto fastball deep to center field. Schwarber has 42 homers on the season, four back of the career high he set in 2022, and he's also one RBI short of matching the career-best 94 he tallied last year. He's been absolutely locked in over the last few weeks -- in his last 20 games, he's slashing .296/.474/.845 with 12 home runs, 19 RBI and 22 runs.
