"Kyle has had a tremendous developmental year so far behind the plate, with the bat, and as a leader," Epstein said. "His next stop is to continue his development as a catcher at Triple-A. First, however, he is going to join the Major League team for six days to contribute as a designated hitter, as a bat off the bench, and as a third catcher."
His teammate with Tennessee, Daniel Vogelbach, tweeted congratulations to Schwarber Monday night.
Congrats to my bash brother @kschwarb12 on the call to the show. Gonna miss my boy but couldn't be more happy for a better dude.
