Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Detroit.
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.

Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Crushes two three-run homers in win
Rotowire
Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a walk and two three-run home runs during Sunday's 11-3 victory over the Nationals.
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.

Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Moves up to leadoff spot
Rotowire
Schwarber is batting leadoff for the Phillies on Friday versus the Nationals, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
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.

Rotowire
Schwarber went 1-for-2 with a grand slam, two walks and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-3 victory over the Cubs.
Schwarber took Jameson Taillon deep with the bases loaded in the first inning and proceeded to walk in his next two at-bats before striking out in his final appearance. Fifteen of the slugger's 28 hits this season have been for extra bases, including 11 home runs, and he's slashing just .176/.314/.409. Schwarber's batting average has never been indicative of his overall impact, but his OBP and SLG are both the lowest they've been since his final year with Chicago.

Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Back in lineup Wednesday
Rotowire
Schwarber (foot) will hit fifth and start in left field Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
Schwarber was removed from Tuesday's 8-4 win after fouling a ball off his left foot in the bottom of the sixth inning, but he was fortunate to escape with nothing other than a bone bruise. The Phillies believe the slugger will be able to play Wednesday, but he's scheduled to go through some pregame running before the team makes a final call on his availability, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. As a result, those planning on using Schwarber in DFS contests or in season-long leagues with daily moves will want to check back closer to the 4:05 p.m. ET opening pitch to ensure that he hasn't been scratched from the lineup.

Schwarber went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 6-1 victory over the Red Sox.

Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Batting fifth Sunday
Rotowire
Schwarber is starting in left field and batting fifth Sunday against Boston.
The 30-year-old hit leadoff the last four games for the Phillies, but he'll drop down the lineup after he went 0-for-19 with seven strikeouts during that span. Schwarber has batted out of the No. 3 hole for most of the season, but that appears to be Bryce Harper's spot now that he's back from the injured list. Bryson Stott is hitting leadoff Sunday for the 20th time this year.
Schwarber is batting leadoff Tuesday night against the Dodgers.
This is Schwarber's first appearance at leadoff this year and it comes in the same game that Bryce Harper (elbow) will make his season debut. Schwarber slugged his seventh homer of the year and also drew a walk in Monday's series opener at Dodger Stadium. Bryson Stott is batting fifth Tuesday with lefty Julio Urias on the mound for Los Angeles.
