Kyle Schwarber - Page 85 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Remains out Thursday Schwarber (knee) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Brewers.

Impact Schwarber missed Wednesday's game against Cleveland with a right knee contusion and apparently still isn't 100 percent. Kris Bryant is covering left field in his stead Thursday, with David Bote picking up another start at the hot corner as a result.

Scratched from Wednesday's lineup Schwarber was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against Cleveland with a right knee contusion.

Impact Schwarber was hit by a pitch in Tuesday's contest, and the injury will keep him out of the starting nine for Game 2 of the Cubs' series against Cleveland. Manager David Ross said that he could be available as a pinch hitter Wednesday but that he'd try to stay away from using him. Kris Bryant will shift to left field with David Bote entering the lineup as the third baseman.

Serving as DH Schwarber will be the designated hitter and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Royals.

Impact This will be just the second time in 10 games this season that Schwarber will serve as the DH, so manager David Ross has been true to his word that the slugger would frequently play in the field. Schwarber has posted an .851 OPS and two home runs through the Cubs' first nine games. Expect him to be back in left field as soon as Tuesday.

Not in lineup Monday Caratini isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

Impact Caratini had a spot in the starting lineup over each of the first three games with the addition of the designated hitter in the National League, but he'll play a bench role in the team's first road contest Monday. Kyle Schwarber will serve as the designated hitter with David Bote entering the starting nine at third base, batting seventh.

Starting in left again Schwarber is starting in left field and batting fourth in Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Impact That's three straight starts in left field to begin the season for Schwarber. Manager David Ross talked before the year about how he didn't view Schwarber as the team's DH, and so far, he's sticking to that. Victor Caratini and Willson Contreras have alternated between catching and serving as DH so far in 2020.

Hits first 2020 homer Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run homer in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

Impact The home run cut Milwaukee's lead to 4-3, though the Cubs stalled from there in the 8-3 loss. Schwarber hit a career-high 38 home runs last season, and while that number seems unattainable in a 60-game season, he should still provide good power numbers in 2020.

Homers out of nine hole Happ went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Brewers.

Impact Happ homered in his first at-bat, just as he did back on Opening Day 2018. This time he was down in the No. 9 spot in the order behind Nico Hoerner, but it's encouraging that he was in the lineup in center field right away with Kyle Schwarber in left and Victor Caratini at DH.

Sitting on Opening Day Almora isn't in the Cubs' Opening Day lineup Friday against the Brewers.

Impact Ian Happ gets the nod in center field, with Kyle Schwarber in left and Victor Caratini serving as the designated hitter. Exactly how the playing time breaks down at those positions may take a few games to sort out.
