Phillies’ Rob Thomson Makes Unexpected Kyle Schwarber Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies are 4-7 in June, and designated hitter/outfielder Kyle Schwarber is one of the main reasons why. The 32-year-old is slashing just .143/.250/.357 with three homers and seven RBI over that stretch.

Schwarber’s third-inning homer — in addition to seven shutout innings from Phillies starter Ranger Suárez — helped power the Phillies to a win over the Blue Jays

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson pitches moving Kyle Schwarber to the outfield, and letting Nick Castellanos "get off his feet" at designated hitter.
