Schwarber is not in the lineup for the second straight game.
He has had an excellent season, batting .230 with 41 hits, 20 home runs, 36 RBI’s, 33 runs and one stolen base in his first 47 games of the 2026 season.
The former Indiana Hoosier is in his fifth year playing for Philadelphia.
Jeff Kerr of 97.3 ESPN FM wrote: “No Kyle Schwarber (illness) for 2nd straight day in #Phillies lineup. Trea Turner is the DH. Edmundo Sosa is SS.”
Before the Phillies, Schwarber had stints with the Chicago Cubs, Washington Nationals and Boston Red Sox.
He has been an incredible addition to the franchise, and helped them reach the World Series in 2022.
In 2016, the 33-year-old won the World Series with the Cubs.
