EDGE Analysis

Schwarber got the Phillies off to a fast start Saturday, crushing his league-leading 33rd homer immediately after Trea Turner led things off with a single in the bottom of the first. Schwarber is now sporting a stout .935 OPS with 61 RBI through 95 games.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber provided the biggest swing of the night in the third inning, taking Andrew Abbott deep for his MLB-leading 31st home run of the season. Through six July contests, Schwarber is 5-for-21 while drawing a walk in each game. Across 393 plate appearances this season, Schwarber is slashing .255/.370/.570 with nine doubles, one triple, 57 RBI, 56 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Schwarber walked and struck out three times in four plate appearances before being ejected in the sixth inning of Monday's game against the Royals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After going down swinging for his third strikeout of the afternoon, Schwarber exchanged words with home-plate umpire Alan Porter and was tossed from the contest. The Phillies were down nine runs following the top of the sixth inning, so interim manager Don Mattingly may have looked to pull the slugger from the contest even if he hadn't been ejected. Schwarber still leads the majors with 30 home runs but has been in a bit of a power drought of late, leaving the yard just once in his last 14 games while striking out in 38.2 percent of his plate appearances.

Schwarber (back) will serve as the Phillies' designated hitter and bat second Thursday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber missed back-to-back starts while dealing with lower-back tightness, but he was able to enter Wednesday's contest as a pinch hitter and drew a walk during his lone plate appearance. Now healthy enough to start, he'll look to remain hot after slashing .306/.425/.597 with seven homers through 20 games in June.

Schwarber (back) walked in his lone plate appearance during Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The All-Star slugger was out of the lineup for Philadelphia's past two games while tending to lower-back tightness, but he entered Wednesday's game as pinch hitter and drew a clutch walk to set up Derek Hill's go-ahead two-run home run in the ninth inning. After coming off the bench, Schwarber appears to have a good chance of returning to the lineup for Thursday's series finale in Washington.

Schwarber (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

A late scratch ahead of Tuesday's 14-9 win due to lower-back tightness, Schwarber will wind up missing out on a second straight start while he tends to the injury. With Schwarber on the bench, the Nationals will give Bryce Harper a day off from playing first base but keep his bat in the lineup at designated hitter. Schwarber doesn't appear at major risk of landing on the injured list, with interim manager Don Mattingly telling Matt Gelb of The Athletic that the 33-year-old is showing improvement and could be back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale in Washington.

Schwarber was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington due to lower-back tightness, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber's back will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's contest, and it remains unknown whether he'll have to miss additional games as well. Edmundo Sosa will fill in as the Phillies' designated hitter and bat eighth.
