Kyle Schwarber Out Of Wednesday's Lineup
Kyle Schwarber is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays. Schwarber and fellow left-handed batter Alex Verdugo will be on the bench for the series finale against the Rays as the Red Sox face off against southpaw Shane McClanahan and try to snap a three-game losing skid. Fantasy managers can expect Schwarber back in the lineup soon, though, as he is hitting .311/.432/.557 with four home runs, eight RBI, and 15 runs scored on 19 hits over his last 15 games. Danny Santana will fill in at left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game.

Kyle Schwarber Starting In Left Field On Wednesday
Kyle Schwarber is making the start in left field and will bat third for the Phillies on Wednesday against the visiting San Francisco Giants and left-hander Robbie Ray at Citizens Bank Park. Schwarber made only five starts in the outfield last year, and this will be his first start in the outfield in 2025. The 32-year-old left-handed slugger has had a strong start to his fourth season in Philadelphia, as he enters Wednesday's contest slashing .267/.421/.617 with a 1.038 OPS, a league-leading six home runs, a double, triple, 12 RBI, a stolen base and 15 runs scored in his first 17 games played. Fantasy managers shouldn't be getting their hopes up that Schwarbs will suddenly regain outfield eligibility this year. In DFS contests, fantasy managers will probably want to avoid the power threat against a tough lefty. Schwarber is hitless in four career at-bats against Ray.

Kyle Schwarber Homers, Collects Two RBI On Monday
Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-1 win over the Rockies. The 434-foot blast was Schwarber's third of the season and he's now up to six RBI. The 32-year-old is coming off a 38-home run campaign in 2024, with ATC projections forecasting another 36 in 2025. The left-handed hitter is hitting well to begin the year, now 6-for-17 (.353) on the young season. With the Phillies having an off day on Tuesday, Schwarber will get back to work on Wednesday against Kyle Freeland and the Rockies, a pitcher whom he's not had success against in the past, going just 1-for-12 with six strikeouts in his career. Season-long managers will continue to fire him up, but he might be an avoid for DFS.
