Kyle Schwarber might be on the move from his domain atop the Phillies lineup. Manager Rob Thomson expects to play around with his batting order when spring training games begin Feb. 22, which means that Schwarber could be penciled in anywhere from No.

Additional camp observations include Cristopher Sánchez's increased strength, Edmundo Sosa's outfield work and Harper's TikTok exploits.

Schwarber having interest in signing an extension is a big development for the Phillies, who risk losing their second-best hitter and clubhouse leader after this year. In three seasons with the Phillies, Schwarber has hit 131 home runs. Only Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani have hit more home runs than Schwarber since the start of the 2022 season.
