Provides key hit Wednesday Schwindel went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Twins.
Impact Schwindel went deep with two on and two outs in the third inning, and it ended up being the only offense for both teams. The first baseman now has home runs in three straight games, giving him eight long balls for the season to go with a strong .944 OPS. He's been a surprising bright spot for the Cubs in the wake of the Anthony Rizzo trade.

Provides only offense Sunday Schwindel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 13-1 loss to the White Sox.
Impact It was an ugly day for the Cubs, with Schwindel's sixth home run of the season the only real bright spot. The 29-year-old has been a pleasant surprise for Chicago this year, as he's delivered a .922 OPS and 20 RBI across 34 games. He should continue to start most days at first base, though he served as the DH on Sunday with the Cubs playing in an American League park.

Reaches twice, scores in loss Schwindel went 0-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Royals.
Impact Schwindel's walks in the first and seventh innings were the only baserunners allowed by Kansas City starter Kris Bubic until Patrick Wisdom plated Schwindel with a two-run home run in the seventh. Schwindel has played well for the Cubs with a .940 OPS through 27 games, and the 29-year-old should remain the primary option at first base the rest of the way.

Continues strong play Schwindel went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Monday's loss to the Reds.
Impact The Cubs left Schwindel in the No. 2 spot in the order for the fourth straight contest and he kept on hitting. The 29-year-old is riding a five-game hitting streak and has hits in 13 of his last 14 games overall. Schwindel should stick near the top of the batting order for however long he can keep this level of production going.

Chisholm homers as Marlins beat reeling Cubs 4-1
Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jesús Aguilar homered, and the Miami Marlins handed the Chicago Cubs their 11th straight loss with a 4-1 victoryAUGUST 15, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Goes deep in Sunday's loss Schwindel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Marlins.
Impact Schwindel's fifth home run of the season in the sixth inning provided the only offense for the Cubs. The 29-year-old came into the year with only six games of experience at the MLB level, though he's settled into a regular role with Chicago now that Anthony Rizzo is gone. The five long balls in 22 games shows what Schwindel is capable of from a power standpoint, so fantasy managers in deeper leagues may want to take a flier.
AUGUST 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Doubles, drives in three Saturday Schwindel went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Marlins.
Impact Schwindel has been productive lately for the Cubs with a 1.239 OPS and 12 RBI across his last 10 games. The 29-year-old should continue serving as the team's primary first baseman with Anthony Rizzo now a member of the Yankees. Schwindel offers some power potential for fantasy managers and is worth a look while he's hot.

Goes deep in three-hit effort Schwindel went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, a two-run home run and two runs scored in Friday's loss to the Marlins.
Impact Schwindel has hit the ground running with the Cubs, as he has four home runs and a .948 OPS through 20 games with the team. With Anthony Rizzo now playing for the Yankees, Chicago has playing time available at first base, and it looks like Schwindel has grabbed hold of the role.
