Kyle Schwarber Traded To Red Sox
Kyle Schwarber (hamstring) has been traded to the Boston Red Sox, per Robert Murray of Fan Sided. No word on the package going back to Washington, but the Red Sox have added another potent bat to a deep lineup. The 28-year-old has 25 homers, 53 RBI, and 42 runs scored with a .253/.340/.570 line across 265 at-bats this season. Schwarber has been on the shelf since July with a right hamstring strain but is healing quickly. The slugger has always profiled as a designated hitter and will have his shot in Beantown shortly.

Kyle Schwarber Launches Three-Run Shot
Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in a 7-2 win over the Nationals on Wednesday. It was his ninth home run of the season, and he is now slashing .245/.398/.538 on the season. The slugger has taken a step forward in plate discipline through the first month of the year, as his 18.0% walk rate and 21.8% strikeout rate are both better than their 2024 counterparts of 15.3% and 28.5%, respectively. He is also seeing more time in the cleanup spot instead of being the primary leadoff hitter, which has allowed him to drive in 23 runs in 30 games. He remains one of the premier sources of power for fantasy.

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.
