Makes outfield debut Schwarber will start in left field and bat second Monday against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Impact After making his first seven starts with the Red Sox as a designated hitter while he recovered from hamstring and groin injuries that he suffered during his time with the Nationals earlier this season, Schwarber will receive the green light to make his debut in the outfield for Boston. The Red Sox plan to eventually expose Schwarber to first base, but for now, he'll likely serve as the primary option in left field, allowing J.D. Martinez to settle back in at DH.

Reaches base four times in win Schwarber went 2-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run scored in Friday's 6-0 win over Texas.
Impact Through his first five games with Boston, Schwarber has gone 6-for-13 with two doubles, two runs scored and five walks. The 28-year-old has served as the designated hitter so far, but he's expected to play in his natural left field position over the weekend. He has a .263/.355/.576 slash line with 25 home runs, 53 RBI, 46 runs scored and 12 doubles through 321 plate appearances overall.

Sitting against lefty Schwarber is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Manager Alex Cora will keep the lefty-hitting Schwarber on the bench for the series finale with southpaw Andrew Heaney on the bump for the Yankees. Since returning from the 10-day injured list Aug. 13, Schwarber has made each of his first four starts with Boston as a designated hitter, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, three walks and three runs. Per Alex Speier of The Boston Globe, Cora suggested Tuesday that Schwarber would be cleared to make a start in the outfield during this weekend's series with Texas, and the 28-year-old is expected to be exposed to first base as well during the final five weeks of the season.

Resting Saturday Schwarber will sit Saturday against the Orioles.
Impact The Red Sox are understandably being cautious with Schwarber, not making him start on back-to-back days immediately after he returned from a six-week absence due to a hamstring issue. He'll likely feature on a near-everyday basis soon once the Red Sox are confident he can handle the workload, with some of his starts potentially coming at first base. Bobby Dalbec will occupy that position Saturday, with Alex Verdugo in left field and J.D. Martinez serving as the designated hitter.

Draws two walks in return Schwarber (hamstring/groin) went 0-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored in Friday's 8-1 win over Baltimore.
Impact Batting sixth and serving as the designated hitter in his Boston debut, Schwarber wasn't able to make much of an impact with the bat. He still got on base twice, scoring both times on doubles by Bobby Dalbec and Jarren Duran. Schwarber was on a career-year pace prior to a six-week stint on the injured list. He has a .251/.342/.566 slash line with 25 home runs, 53 RBI, 44 runs scored and a stolen base through 307 plate appearances, He should be poised for a regular role in left field going forward, which could end up cutting into Duran's playing time.
