KYLE SCHWARBER NEWS

Scratched from lineup due to elbow The Phillies scratched Schwarber from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays while he continues to experience soreness in his left elbow, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Schwarber was removed in the fourth inning of Tuesday's 9-4 win, after he looked to have injured his elbow while diving back into first base on a pickoff attempt the inning prior. Though the Phillies initially penciled Schwarber into the lineup Wednesday, manager Rob Thomson said that the designated hitter is still experiencing soreness in his elbow when he swings. The Phillies have Thursday off, so the club is seemingly hopeful that Schwarber will be ready to serve as the DH in Friday's series opener versus the Mets after two full days of rest.

Cleared to start Wednesday Schwarber (elbow) will bat leadoff as the Phillies' designated hitter in Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Schwarber was pulled from Tuesday's 9-4 win in the fourth inning, after he had previously appeared to have hurt his elbow an inning earlier when he retreated to first base on a pickoff attempt. His inclusion in the lineup a day later likely suggests that his removal was precautionary, so fantasy managers in leagues with daily lineup moves shouldn't have many qualms about keeping the slugger active Wednesday. Schwarber has opened September with a nine-game hitting streak, during which he's slashed a scintillating .417/.463/1.083 with seven home runs, 13 RBI and 12 runs.

Leads comeback with three homers Schwarber went 5-for-6 with a double, three home runs, four runs scored and six RBI in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact The 31-year-old slugger became only the second Phillie in history to record a five-hit, three-homer performance, joining Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt in a very exclusive club. Schwarber led off the game with a solo shot off Chris Bassitt and then added another off the veteran righty in the fourth, but it was his three-run blast in the top of the ninth off Chad Green that completed an improbable comeback from an early 6-1 deficit. Schwarber is up to 31 homers, 88 RBI and 92 runs on the season to go with an .843 OPS, his highest mark in the latter category since 2021.
