Kyle Schwarber powers Phillies past Dodgers, 6-2

Kyle Schwarber made his presence felt in the Phillies' 6-2 victory over the Dodgers, going 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance adds a bit of shine to his season, where he's now batting .253 with 24 homers and 66 RBI through 102 games. Schwarber's power remains a key asset, especially in categories like home runs and RBI, but his high strikeout rate (.276) continues to be a drag on his batting average. However, his ability to draw walks (82 this season) and a solid .370 wOBA suggest he can be a valuable contributor in OBP leagues. Fantasy managers should continue to ride Schwarber's power wave, though they must accept the batting average risk that comes with it.
