Kyle Schwarber played a pivotal role in the Phillies' 7-6 win over the Rockies, going 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI.

Fantasy Impact

His performance today was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat sluggish start to the season, with a batting average lingering around .230. Despite the strikeouts, which have been frequent this season, Schwarber's power at the plate remains undeniable. His five home runs and 13 runs scored over 19 games highlight his potential to rack up fantasy points in power categories. Fantasy managers should continue to value his ability to change the game with a single swing, though his high strikeout rate may be a concern in formats that penalize for strikeouts.

Schwarber wasted no time Wednesday hitting a solo HR in the first inning, the 250th of his career. He would leave the yard again in the sixth, a two-run shot scoring Johan Rojas. Schwarber went 2-for-5, scoring twice with three RBIs in the Phillies' 7-6 win.

Schwarber's breakout game brought his SLG up to .432 on the season, putting him just outside the top 70 in the category this year. The Phillies' DH finished 38th overall last season in SLG at .474 so he is heading in the right direction. Schwarber managers should monitor his SLG as he carries a career .224 BA and his production throughout the season will be tied to extra-base hits.

Kyle Schwarber had a standout performance in the Phillies' 4-3 win against the Pirates, going 3-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored, one RBI, and two walks.

Schwarber continues to turn things around at the plate of late, registering hits in each of his last four games, while also driving in runs in three of those four contests for the Phillies. The 31-year-old continues to flash immense power but will need to connect more consistently at the plate in run-producing situations, batting .259 with three home runs and six runs batted in so far this season.

Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in the loss to the Reds.

Schwarber, who has been known for his power, didn't disappoint, launching a solo home run to account for the Phillies' lone run of the game. This performance brings his season totals to a .280 batting average with 2 home runs and 3 RBIs through six games.

Kyle Schwarber was scratched from Wednesday's lineup as a precaution.

Schwarber is reportedly dealing with groin tightness. He is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Schwarber felt something in the weight room following batting practice.
