Dansby Swanson Delivers Long Ball for Braves rotoballer.com Sat 3/30/19 8:06 PM

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson hit his first home run of the season against Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Nick Pivetta. On the day, Swanson was 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored. Swanson now has extra-base hits in back-to-back games to begin the regular season.

Maybe you've got your eye on a young utility player who is one injury away from regular playing time (not that anyone should be rooting for injuries).

Dansby Swanson, Mike Soroka Expected To Be Ready rotoballer.com Mon 1/21/19 3:59 PM

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (wrist) and starting pitcher Mike Soroka (shoulder) are both expected to report to spring training without physical limitations. However, both are expected to be eased into the Grapefruit League schedule. Swanson's left wrist bothered him pretty much all year until he was shut down in the final week, and he had surgery to remove a lima bean-sized portion of cartilage damage in November. Swanson started hitting off a tee pain-free earlier this week. He's [...]
