Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 11-8 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson played a key role as the Cubs secured a big win over San Francisco, a team they're trying to hold off for a playoff spot. The shortstop is batting a disappointing .246 after hitting .277 for Atlanta last year, though he's still been fairly productive with 19 home runs, 67 runs scored and 70 RBI across 125 games. Swanson should remain an important cog for Chicago's offense down the stretch.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a home run and four total RBI in Monday's 8-6 loss to the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning, then drove in two more runs on a single later in the game. The shortstop needs one more long ball to reach 20 homers for the third straight year. Swanson also now has 64 RBI this season, which is still a ways away from the career-high 96 he recorded last year with Atlanta.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson had been in a bit of a funk, as he entered Sunday batting just .135 over his last 10 games. The shortstop did muster three home runs during that stretch, however, and he's been mostly solid in his first season with the Cubs with a .787 OPS overall. Swanson posted a .776 OPS last year with Atlanta, where he tallied 25 home runs and 96 RBI as part of a potent offensive attack.

The shortstop now has five long balls and 13 RBI in August, though he's batting just .171 for the month and came into Saturday's contest having failed to record a hit in each of his previous four games. He's also struck out 15 times already this month while drawing only two walks.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson recently had a stretch of three straight games with a home run, and while that run ended, he still has five long balls across his last six contests. The impressive power production has the shortstop up to 17 total home runs, putting him within reach of his third straight season with at least 20 homers.

Swanson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 16-6 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson also struck out three times, but that can be overlooked because he's now gone deep in three straight games, including hitting two long balls Tuesday. The shortstop got off to a relatively slow start in the power department with the Cubs, but he now has 16 home runs on the season and could match or exceed the 25 bombs he tallied a year ago with Atlanta.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's 20-9 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago exploded on offense and Swanson was a big part of it, hitting his 14th and 15th home runs of the season a night after hitting his 13th home run of the year. The shortstop had a solid July with an .846 OPS and four home runs across 14 games, and he's off to a promising start in August.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson went deep in the second inning against Cincinnati starter Andrew Abbott, giving him 13 home runs for the season. The shortstop has four of those long balls over his last 14 games after recording just nine home runs across his first 78 games with the Cubs. Swanson's recent pace suggests he could finish the year with a power surge and possibly get to the 25-homer plateau for the third straight season.

Swanson went 3-for-3 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson took Michael Kopech deep in the second inning with a runner on, then touched up Kopech again in the fourth inning with a solo shot. The shortstop now has 12 home runs this year, with a third of them coming in the last 11 games. Swanson seems to be heating up and could enjoy a strong finish to his first season with the Cubs.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson has tallied two hits in consecutive contests and four times over his last five games. The burst has pushed his season batting average up to .264, which is still a bit below the .277 figure the shortstop posted last year with Atlanta. However, Swanson could reach that mark if he keeps up his recent level of performance.
