Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored during Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Padres in extra innings.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old also struck out twice but provided most of Atlanta's offense in the series finale with his 416-foot, two-run shot to center field during the fourth inning. It was Swanson's third homer in his past eight contests, but strikeouts continue to be a problem as he's totaled 11 during that stretch. He has a .229/.303/.407 slash line with four home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs, four stolen bases and a 35.6 percent strikeout rate through 35 games this year.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson played a significant role in Atlanta's seven-run sixth inning by driving in Adam Duvall with a single before also coming around to score later in the frame. He has now tallied at least one hit in eight of his last 10 games, during which he's also recorded one home run, five RBI and six runs scored. Swanson has improved his average to .233 across 101 plate appearances on the campaign, but his strikeout rate remains elevated at a concerning 35.6 percent.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop has hit safely in six straight games and eight of the last nine as he digs himself out of an early season hole at the plate, slashing .393/.455/.643 over those nine contests with a homer, two steals, six runs and six RBI. Swanson's 27.3 percent strikeout rate during that stretch is still a little elevated, but it's a huge improvement on his 41.5 percent mark in the 14 games prior.
