Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Ejected in three-strikeout game
Rotowire
Schwarber walked and struck out three times in four plate appearances before being ejected in the sixth inning of Monday's game against the Royals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
After going down swinging for his third strikeout of the afternoon, Schwarber exchanged words with home-plate umpire Alan Porter and was tossed from the contest. The Phillies were down nine runs following the top of the sixth inning, so interim manager Don Mattingly may have looked to pull the slugger from the contest even if he hadn't been ejected. Schwarber still leads the majors with 30 home runs but has been in a bit of a power drought of late, leaving the yard just once in his last 14 games while striking out in 38.2 percent of his plate appearances.

Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Back in lineup
Rotowire
Schwarber (back) will serve as the Phillies' designated hitter and bat second Thursday against the Nationals.
Schwarber missed back-to-back starts while dealing with lower-back tightness, but he was able to enter Wednesday's contest as a pinch hitter and drew a walk during his lone plate appearance. Now healthy enough to start, he'll look to remain hot after slashing .306/.425/.597 with seven homers through 20 games in June.

Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Walks as pinch hitter
Rotowire
Schwarber (back) walked in his lone plate appearance during Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals.
The All-Star slugger was out of the lineup for Philadelphia's past two games while tending to lower-back tightness, but he entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter and drew a clutch walk to set up Derek Hill's go-ahead two-run home run in the ninth inning. After coming off the bench, Schwarber appears to have a good chance of returning to the lineup for Thursday's series finale in Washington.
Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Sitting out again Wednesday
Rotowire
Schwarber (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
A late scratch ahead of Tuesday's 14-9 win due to lower-back tightness, Schwarber will wind up missing out on a second straight start while he tends to the injury. With Schwarber on the bench, the Nationals will give Bryce Harper a day off from playing first base but keep his bat in the lineup at designated hitter. Schwarber doesn't appear at major risk of landing on the injured list, with interim manager Don Mattingly telling Matt Gelb of The Athletic that the 33-year-old is showing improvement and could be back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale in Washington.
