KYLE SCHWARBER NEWS

Red Sox's Kyle Schwarber Gives Injury Update; Expects To Start Rehab Kyle Schwarber can't make a debut for the Red Sox until his hamstring heals, but he shared when he expects to start his rehab assignment.

JULY 31, 2021 • NESN.COM

Nearing rehab assignment Schwarber (hamstring) has been taking batting practice and expects to begin a minor-league rehab assignment soon, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Hitting doesn't appear to be an issue at this point for Schwarber, who has been taking batting practice for a few weeks now. Rather, fielding and running without hamstring discomfort are the hurdles he must overcome before returning to the field. The Red Sox figure to be cautious with their newly acquired slugger's hamstring, especially if they're planning to deploy him at first base, where he's only played one game in his big-league career.

Could move to first base Boston chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said the Red Sox will look at Schwarber (hamstring) at first base, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Red Sox targeted a left-handed hitting first baseman, but short of landing Anthony Rizzo, they settled on Schwarber, who has a comparable or perhaps better bat. It's uncertain when Schwarber will be able to start training at first base; he's estimated to be 10 to 14 days away from playing as he recovers from a hamstring strain that's held him out since early July. Schwarber won't be solely used at first base and is expected to rotate at first, DH and left field.

Heading to Boston Schwarber (hamstring) will be traded from the Nationals to the Red Sox in exchange for Aldo Ramirez (elbow) on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Schwarber is the latest player to be dealt by the Nationals following the departures of Max Scherzer, Trea Turner (COVID-19) and Brad Hand earlier in the day. He's been sidelined since July 3 with a right hamstring strain but has recovered enough to jog and take batting practice recently. There has not been a concrete timetable for his return, though the Red Sox must be fairly confident that he can hit the field soon enough to make a significant impact in the playoff race.
