Kyle Schwarber Doing Drills At 90% Intensity
5 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) is doing drills at 90 percent intensity. Although the All-Star break looms after next week's homestand, the Phillies won't hold Schwarber back from coming off the 10-day injured list if he's ready to return before the Midsummer Classic. The 31-year-old All-Star left-handed slugger is dealing with a mild left-groin strain and has a pretty good shot at returning before the All-Star break. The former fourth overall pick by the Chicago Cubs in 2014 should be stashed in all fantasy formats while he's on the IL, as he's an elite power bat and on-base machine atop one of the best lineups in baseball. Schwarber is currently slashing .250/.373/.447 with an .820 OPS, 17 homers, 49 RBI, 60 runs and even four stolen bases in 300 at-bats.
