33 Nick Swisher, 1B

Indians outfielder/first baseman Nick Swisher went deep on Wednesday during a 10-4 win over Cole Hamels and the Phillies. 

Swisher took Hamels deep for a two-run blast, his sixth of the year, in the fifth inning. He finished 1 for 5 with two RBI and is batting .273. 

The 32-year-old Swisher has recorded at least one base hit in nine of his last 10 games and has three homers and six RBI over that span. He has raised his average nearly 20 percentage points over that stretch. 

Indians first baseman Nick Swisher has hit safely in six of seven games since returning from a brief absence due to a shoulder injury, with three home runs, four RBI and a .308 batting average. Alternating pretty regularly between first base and designated hitter, with the occasional outfielder appearance should help keep Swisher healthy and active.

Now that he is over his lingering shoulder issue, Fantasy owners should feel comfortable getting Swisher active.

Indians designated hitter Nick Swisher fell a home run short of the cycle Friday night, going 3 for 4 with a single, double and triple. He also scored two runs and tallied one RBI against the Tigers.

Swisher, who homered in each of his previous two games heading into Friday, has compiled a five-game hitting streak, elevating his season line to .275/.375/.495 in 128 plate appearances.

Nick Swisher was one of three Indians' players to homer during Thursday's 9-2 win against the Athletics. Swisher led off the third by pulling Bartolo Colon's first pitch over the wall in right field for his fifth homer and second in two days.

Swisher came into play Thursday batting .182 (8 for 44) in his last 12 games, but he has three home runs in six May games and feels his swing is coming around.

"I'm starting to feel a little better," Swisher told MLB.com prior to Thursday's game. "I feel like I've been getting a hit a game. I haven't had that breakout game in the past week, but for me, I'm just getting that confidence back and making sure the shoulder is 100 percent. It's starting to feel like I've got a little whip in my stick."

Indians first baseman Nick Swisher homered Wednesday during a 4-3 win over the Athletics. Swisher went deep in the sixth inning with a solo shot off starter A.J. Griffin. 

The cleanup batter went 1 for 4 in the game and is now batting .255. The homer was his fourth of the year and second in his last five games.
