Schwarber went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Sunday's win over Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber put the Phillies ahead 5-4 in the second inning with a two-run, 421-foot blast off Zack Greinke. It's Schwarber's first homer and first multi-hit game since July 28. He'd gone just 1-for-27 while striking out at a 30.8 percent rate since then. The 30-year-old Schwarber is up to 28 homers on the year, though he's slashing just .182/.321/.421 with 67 RBI and 65 runs scored across 501 plate appearances.

Schwarber went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's victory over San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber ended the Phillies' four-game series against the Padres with another impactful performance, taking Seth Lugo yard for a solo shot in the sixth inning for his third straight game with a homer and plating the game-winning run in the 12th inning on a sacrifice fly. After going 5-for-18 (277) with three long balls in the series, Schwarber is slashing .189/.314/.444 on the year with the sixth most homers in baseball (25).

Schwarber went 3-for-10 with two home runs and five RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies put together comeback wins in both contests, and Schwarber was in the thick of each rally, taking Nick Martinez deep for a solo shot in the seventh inning of the matinee before tagging Ryan Weathers for a three-run blast in the fifth inning of the nightcap. Schwarber's .189 batting average remains a tough pill to swallow in traditional roto formats, but his 24 homers and 54 RBI through 92 games still provide solid fantasy value. The home runs were his first since July 1.

Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber started the game with a homer on the first pitch he saw from Kyle Hendricks. He has a home run and two doubles over his last three games, though he had a brief 0-for-15 slump over the four contests prior. The slugger is up to 21 homers, 43 RBI, 47 runs scored and a .186/.326/.441 slash line through 80 games. Eight of his homers have come in June.

Schwarber went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber opened the scoring with a solo shot on the fourth pitch from Hogan Harris. In the fifth, Schwarber added an RBI single. The outfielder collected his first three-hit game of the season, and he's now batting .254 (17-for-67) with seven homers and 14 RBI in June. For the season, he's at a .187/.332/.455 slash line with 20 long balls, 41 RBI, 43 runs scored and no stolen bases through 72 contests. It's a recurring theme for Schwarber to get hot in the middle of the campaign, and it looks like 2023 is no different.

Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a solo blast and two runs scored in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber kicked things off with a 450-foot mammoth home run to right in what would end up being a four-run opening frame for the Phillies. Since June 2, he's slashing .256/.385/.674 with five homers, nine RBI, 12 runs and a 9:11 BB:K to go with a 1.059 OPS over 52 plate appearances. He's starting to turn things around after a miserable start over the first two months and should continue to see leadoff opportunities so long as he's producing.

Schwarber went 2-for-3 with two walks, a triple, a solo home run and three runs scored in Friday's 5-4 victory over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber hit his fourth home run over his past five games and accounted for four of the Phillies' five runs Friday. During his current hot streak, the lefty slugger is slashing .313/.522/1.188 with eight RBI and eight runs scored. Heading into June, Schwarber was slashing just .163/.318/.395 with 18 of his 31 hits going for extra bases, so despite the recent offensive outburst, he still has a lot of work to do to turn around his overall numbers.

Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber led off the bottom of the first with a solo home run off left-hander Tyler Alexander. It would stand as the only run scored in the Phillies' 1-0 win. Schwarber now has three homers in his last three games. He's gone 5-for-20 (.300) over his last five contests after going just 2-for-30 in his previous nine. The 30-year-old Schwarber is now slashing .173/.322/.425 with 16 homers, 33 runs scored and 34 RBI through 261 plate appearances this season.

Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a walk and two three-run home runs during Sunday's 11-3 victory over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Schwarber was 2-for-30 over a nine-game stretch before manager Rob Thompson moved him back into the leadoff spot Friday. Since then, the slugger has gone 5-for-15 with three-extra base knocks. Sunday's performance was Schwarber's first multi-homer game of the year and marked his first long ball since May 22. Given the positive results, he figures to remain in the leadoff spot moving forward, and evident by his six RBI versus Washington, that doesn't always mean fewer opportunities with runners on base.

Schwarber is batting leadoff for the Phillies on Friday versus the Nationals, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Rob Thomson is shaking things up in an effort to jump-start a disappointing offense. It's interesting that shifting Schwarber up in the batting order is the move, considering he's gone 2-for-30 over his last nine games to drop his OPS on the season below .700, but he does have a .348 OBP against right-handed pitchers -- and Washington is sending Josiah Gray to the mound.
