Kyle Schwarber Starting to Heat up at the Plate of Late
Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber is starting to heat up at the plate of late after a slow start to the season. Over the past seven games, he has been slashing .258/.281/.774 with five home runs and seven RBI. He has now improved his overall season line to a .227 average with a .950 OPS. The power has never been the issue for Schwarber; it's mostly been his average and strikeout rate, as it normally is with him, but he was pacing to revert back to his 2023 numbers, where he hit .197 prior to this nice stretch. Schwarber sitll remains one of the best power hitters in the game, and must-start in all formats, but fantasy managers should know that the highs will be high and the lows can be low, making him a better player in rotisserie formats over head to head formats, and especially points leagues, considering he is normally known as someone with around a 30 percent strikeout rate (28.5 percent career strikeout rate and 32.8 percent in 2026). That makes him liable in some points leagues that take points away for strikeouts. Up next for Schwarber and the Phillies are a few road matchups in Boston and Pittsburgh in Week 8.
