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.

Throughout his career, Kyle Schwarber has been Mr. June. As soon as the calendar flips from May each year, he seems to unlock another level of power. Schwarber, whose career OPS in June is .912, averages one home run per every 10.94 at-bats during the month.

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