Red Sox Wont Face Their Former Silver Slugger Teammate Monday Lineups

The Red Sox Skip a Reunion With Former Teammate Kyle Schwarber

Monday's Lineup Omits a Familiar Face

The Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies are set to face off Monday evening, but one player will be notably absent from the Red Sox lineup. Former Boston outfielder Kyle Schwarber, who won a Silver Slugger award with the team in 2021, will not be playing against his old team.

Roster Moves and Lineup Changes

Schwarber was traded to the Phillies in December 2021, and he has been a key part of their lineup this season, batting .283 with 10 home runs and 31 RBIs.

The Red Sox, meanwhile, have struggled to score runs this season, and they are currently last in the American League East with a 12-27 record.

Schwarber's Impact on Phillies and Red Sox

Schwarber's absence from the Red Sox lineup is a significant loss for Boston, as he is one of the team's most dangerous hitters.

However, the Phillies are also a better team with Schwarber in their lineup, as he provides them with a power bat and a strong presence in the middle of the order.

Upcoming Matchup Preview

The Red Sox and Phillies will face off at Fenway Park on Monday evening at 7:10 p.m. ET.

The Red Sox will start right-hander Garrett Whitlock, while the Phillies will start left-hander Ranger Suarez.
