Swanson went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson had gone 13 games without a multi-hit effort, batting just .174 (8-for-46) with two homers, eight RBI and 19 strikeouts in that span. He was seeing the ball well in this contest, which also allowed him to swipe his first bag since July 22 versus the Royals. The recent slump now has him at a .250/.297/.415 slash line with 18 homers, 55 RBI, 65 runs scored and nine steals across 114 games this season.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson went deep for the second time in the last three days and 18th time this season. The Chicago shortstop is now slashing .245/.294/.414 across 113 games, which is very similar to the .242/.312/.390 line he posted last year. Swanson should continue to play most days up the middle for the Cubs, though both Willi Castro and Nico Hoerner can fill in when the former needs a break down the stretch.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson swatted his first home run since July 13 in the third inning, giving him 17 long balls for the season to go along with 54 RBI across 110 contests. In 14 games since that last homer, the Chicago shortstop had fallen into a 10-for-50 slump with 22 strikeouts before leaving the yard Monday. Swanson should still play nearly every day despite his recent downturn in production, though the acquisition of Willi Castro before the trade deadline gives the Cubs another option in the middle infield, which could lead to more days off for both Swanson and Nico Hoerner moving forward.

Swanson is not in the Cubs' starting lineup against the Orioles on Saturday.

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.
