Swanson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-1 win against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson batted out of the nine spot in the order and was one of four Braves with multiple hits. His third-inning solo shot traveled an estimated 432 feet and was his first long ball of the campaign. Swanson has reached based safely in six straight games and is batting .389 with five RBI and two steals over that stretch.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Wednesday's 6-3 extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

His two-run single in the eighth inning tied the game at 3-3, but Atlanta couldn't find any more offense on the night. Swanson's had a rough start to the season, but he appears to be righting the ship -- over the last seven games, he's slashing .273/.360/.364.

Swanson will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta is facing a left-handed starter (Patrick Corbin) for the second day in a row, but even with lefty-hitting regulars Eddie Rosario and Alex Dickerson out of the starting nine, Swanson hasn't been able to climb much in the order. Swanson didn't hit any higher than seventh in any of Atlanta's first five games, going 2-for-16 with 10 strikeouts.

Swanson went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The shortstop turned on a Shane McClanahan pitch in the second inning and drove it completely out of CoolToday Park. Swanson delivered a career-high 27 homers and 88 RBI last season, and the 28-year-old will be counted on to supply similar or better numbers for Atlanta in 2022 as the club looks to repeat as World Series champions.

Swanson isn't interested in discussing a contract extension during the season, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

The shortstop will be a free agent next offseason, but Swanson suggested Friday he didn't want the distraction of a contract negotiation. "I haven't even thought about it," he said. "But my off-the-cusp answer would be no. There's no point in having extra distractions. This game's hard enough as it is. You want to put all your energy into the game and your teammates. And that's the real reason why you do play, is for your teammates and to win. So if things are taking away from that focus, then it's not worth it." Swanson posted career-best power numbers last season, but paired his 27 homers and 88 RBI with a .248/.311/.449 slash line. Assuming Atlanta doesn't lock him up before Opening Day, the 28-year-old could be headed for a big payday if he keeps his power gains and continues to play strong defense in 2022.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Astros in Game 6 of the World Series.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Saturday's World Series Game 4 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson came to the plate against Cristian Javier with one out and a 2-1 deficit in the bottom of the seventh inning. He took an 0-2 fastball over the right-field wall to tie the game, with Jorge Soler repeating the feat one batter later to give Atlanta the lead. Swanson's postseason has been unimpressive overall even after his Game 4 heroics, as he's hitting just .240/.283/.320 in 14 playoff games.

Swanson is out of the lineup Friday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson will take a seat after starting the previous 17 contests since Atlanta clinched the NL East division crown Thursday. Orlando Arcia will make the start at shortstop in his absence.

Swanson went 3-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs during Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson enjoyed his first three-hit performance since mid-August by producing a trio of singles, the last of which brought home a pair of runs in the seventh inning.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts in a 4-0 win over the Padres on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson took San Diego starter Reiss Knehr deep to right in the second inning to give Atlanta an early 3-0 lead that proved to be all the support Max Fried needed. The homer was the 27-year-old's first since Sept. 1, as he's been slumping lately with a 3-for-25 mark over his last seven games.
