Phillies news: Kyle Schwarber, Andrew Painter, Wyatt Langford

Imagine

getting to 30 home runs before the calendar even flips to July? Kyle Schwarber just did that, becoming the fastest player in team history to do so.

It’s just so impressive how each season, he seems to be getting better. The strikeouts are high, but who really cares when he hits for this much power. I feel like another high finish in the MVP vote is in the offing.

On to the links.

Phillies news:

• The Phillies are getting more contributors to their wins these days, unlike days past when they had just a few ($).
• The team is in no rush to get Andrew Painter back to the major leagues. The goal for his minor league stint is “getting right” ($).

MLB news:

• The Angels have someone in charge now that might actually know what he is doing. Takeaways from John Mozeliak’s presser ($).
• The Royals have stunk something awful this year, so why not pile on more bad news for them with Cole Ragans needing elbow surgery.
• Hey, what do you know, Wyatt Langford is hurt again. He’s going on the injured list as Evan Carter comes back off of it.
