Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (quad) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. The Braves are likely going to give Swanson a few days off to rest his quad. Johan Camargo will cover shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Jordan Yamamoto. Camargo isn't worth a look in fantasy leagues or DFS contests on Friday.

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson was 3-for-5 with five RBI, a home run, and two runs scored during a 12-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday.

In the latest edition of Statcast Studs and Duds for offense, we're going to shorten the range of outcomes. I will look at leaders in hard-hit balls over the past month only. Also, rather than simply isolating Hard% as a metric, I am looking at the total leaders in batted ball events that qualify as either Barrels or Solid Contact. The reason for this is simple - percentages can be misleading.If a rookie comes up and homers in his first two Major League at-bats, his ISO and Barrel% will be throu[...]

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson was 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, and three RBI during a 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night. The 25-year-old is slashing .264/.320/.495 this season with 12 HRs, 41 RBI, and five stolen bases. The former first-overall pick is on pace to smash all of his previous career highs on offense. Swanson has become a prevalent bat in a potent Braves' lineup that has started to live up to their offensive potential. He is worthy of ownership in all fo[...]

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson hit his second home run in as many games on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a walk in Atlanta's 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers. Swanson hit his 12th home run of the season off of Matthew Boyd in the third inning, a two-out two-run shot. He scored twice and drove in three. Swanson is now hitting .264/.320/.495 in a breakout season at age 25. Entrenched in the second spot in Atlanta's batting order, Swanson is worth a roster spot in most formats.

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson was 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI during Friday's 5-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. It was a welcomed performance from Swanson, who had cooled off in recent weeks after a dominant start to the season. Swanson owns a .262/.319/.492 slash line to go along with 10 home runs, 35 RBI, and five stolen bases. His exposure to a potent Braves' lineup makes him a serviceable fantasy asset in most mixed formats.
