Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Mets. He kicked off the afternoon by taking Sean Manaea deep, giving Schwarber his 36th homer of the season and his 15th leadoff homer -- extending the major-league record he set Sept. 10. The veteran slugger is one RBI shy of his second straight 100-RBI campaign, and with seven games left on the Phillies' schedule, he still has an outside shot at his third straight 40-homer season.

Schwarber (elbow) will DH and bat leadoff Friday against the Mets. Schwarber was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to elbow pain stemming from an awkward dive back to first base on a pickoff Tuesday. All indications are that the injury is minor, and he's feeling well enough to play Friday. The 31-year-old has 35 home runs and a .868 OPS on the year.

The Phillies scratched Schwarber from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays while he continues to experience soreness in his left elbow, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. Schwarber was removed in the fourth inning of Tuesday's 9-4 win, after he looked to have injured his elbow while diving back into first base on a pickoff attempt the inning prior. Though the Phillies initially penciled Schwarber into the lineup Wednesday, manager Rob Thomson said that the designated hitter is still experiencing soreness in his elbow when he swings. The Phillies have Thursday off, so the club is seemingly hopeful that Schwarber will be ready to serve as the DH in Friday's series opener versus the Mets after two full days of rest.

Schwarber (elbow) will bat leadoff as the Phillies' designated hitter in Wednesday's game against the Rays. Schwarber was pulled from Tuesday's 9-4 win in the fourth inning, after he had previously appeared to have hurt his elbow an inning earlier when he retreated to first base on a pickoff attempt. His inclusion in the lineup a day later likely suggests that his removal was precautionary, so fantasy managers in leagues with daily lineup moves shouldn't have many qualms about keeping the slugger active Wednesday. Schwarber has opened September with a nine-game hitting streak, during which he's slashed a scintillating .417/.463/1.083 with seven home runs, 13 RBI and 12 runs.

Schwarber was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays due to left elbow discomfort, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. Schwarber appeared to injure his elbow while diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt in the third inning, and he was later pinch hit for in the fourth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, and he should be considered day-to-day for the time being.
