Kyle Schwarber Back From Illness to Face the Guardians
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (illness) is feeling better and is serving as the DH and batting second in Friday's series opener against the visiting Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Gavin Williams, according to MLB.com. Schwarber was under the weather earlier this week and missed the entire three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds, but he's back for the weekend series at Citizens Bank Park. Despite missing three contests, the 33-year-old veteran left-handed slugger still leads all of baseball with 20 home runs and is slashing .230/.357/.624 with a .980 OPS. Schwarbs has added 36 RBI, 33 runs scored, and even a stolen base in his 178 at-bats so far in 2026. Fantasy managers are hoping that the three-time All-Star and former Silver Slugger winner can pick up where he left off before his illness, as he has gone 13-for-43 (.302) with nine home runs, a double, 16 RBI, 10 runs, and a steal in his last 10 games, dating back to May 7. Get him back into your starting lineups in all traditional fantasy formats.
