Kyle Schwarber slugged No. 50 in a 9-3 win at Citizens Bank Park, becoming the second Phillies player to reach 50 homers in a season and tying MLB’s 52nd 50-HR season overall. The 437-foot blast travelled 110.4 mph, underscoring power as Philly presses toward a division crown.

Philly’s offense remains anchored by Schwarber’s explosive .241/.365/.563 line, making him a focal point in NL MVP chatter and rest-of-season fantasy value while suiting as a top DH option down the stretch. Turner and Bohm meanwhile hit IL, testing lineup depth as the nine-game NL East lead swells to 85-60.

Cal Raleigh is noted as a 50-HR companion in MLB lore, adding context to a year of historic power across the league. Schwarber’s looming free agency adds intrigue to both real-world and fantasy decisions, especially for teams counting on his bat next season.

How should fantasy players value Schwarber in redraft leagues for the rest of 2025?Which Phillies players could benefit most if Turner returns to full health?What is Cal Raleigh’s rest-of-season upside relative to Schwarber?What are Schwarber’s NL MVP odds and rest-of-season path to securing the honor?
