Phillies Make Surprise Kyle Schwarber Move After Bryce Harper Injury Update
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Philadelphia Phillies won their recent series with the rival Atlanta Braves, but the victory came with a significant loss as well. In the first inning of the first game, superstar slugger Bryce Harper was struck by a pitch from Spencer Strider in his surgically repaired elbow. He was immediately removed from the game and, while he told reporters he's hopeful he can avoid a trip to the injured list, the Phillies are preparing for an extended absence. "Since Harper has been out, Alec Bohm has seen the bulk of the innings at first base," according to Lochland March of The Philadelphia Inquirer. "But Kyle Schwarber also got some extra infield work taking grounders pregame on Friday." While Bohm has been the go-to substitute at first base for Harper, the move to give Schwarber more reps there is a bigger surprise. He hasn't started a game at that position since 2021 and has only played 11 games there in his 11-year Major League Baseball career.

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)The Phillies should also be wary about making any changes that could throw off Schwarber's approach at the plate. He has been the best hitter on the team so far this year, slugging .578 with 19 homers. But the team seems unsure of the next steps for Harper, forcing the surprise decision to consider Schwarber as a defensive replacement. "I think he's ramped it up a little bit, just because of the Harper situation," Phillies manager Rob Thomson said of Schwarber's first base reps, per March. "We don't really know where we're at with that." As Harper works his way back from the scary hit, the Phillies still have reason to hope Schwarber won't need to fill in before he comes back.

Rangers deal Ornelas to Braves
The Texas Rangers have traded utility guy Jonathan Ornelas to the Atlanta Braves for cash considerations, it was announced today. Ornelas had been designated for assignment to make room for Michael Helman, who was claimed off waivers by the Rangers. Ornelas was the Rangers' third round pick in 2018. All four of the Rangers' first four picks — Cole Winn, Owen White, Ornelas and Mason Englert — have made the bigs, but have been fringe guys, with all but Winn having been designated for assignment at least once.
