Chicago ran wild with seven stolen bases in the shutout win, and Swanson chipped in with his eighth of the season in 11 attempts. The shortstop swiped 19 bases last year, and he's been in double digits four times in his MLB career. Swanson also has 16 home runs this season, giving him well-rounded fantasy value from a premium position.

EDGE Analysis
Swanson recorded his 23rd multi-hit effort of the season and his fourth in the last eight games.

Swanson is starting at shortstop and batting fourth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
After getting his first day off of the season Sunday, Swanson will return to the lineup Monday in St. Louis, and he's in a prime position to produce as the team's cleanup hitter against lefty starter Matthew Liberatore. Over the past three years, Swanson's OPS is more than 100 points higher when facing southpaws as opposed to righties.

Swanson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
After starting Chicago's first 76 games, Swanson will get his first day off of the season Sunday, with Nico Hoerner getting the nod at shortstop in his stead. Swanson played in at least 147 games in both of his first two years with the Cubs, and he played in all 162 games during his last season in Atlanta back in 2022. Swanson should return to the lineup Monday in St. Louis.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson took Pittsburgh reliever Ryan Borucki deep in the sixth inning, giving him 13 home runs on the season. The shortstop has been solid recently with a .278 batting average and two long balls across his last five games. Swanson should be able to surpass last season's total of 16 homers fairly soon if he stays healthy, and his career high of 27 long balls also remains well within reach later in the year.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson hit his 12th home run of the season and first since May 23 to help lead the Cubs to a big victory. The shortstop is quickly nearing his 2024 total of 16 long balls. Swanson's career high in home runs is 27, which he recorded back in 2021 with Atlanta. He should continue to see regular playing time in the middle of a stacked Chicago lineup, giving him good fantasy upside the rest of the way.
