Swanson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson mashed a solo shot to left to give Atlanta a 3-2 lead in the fourth. It was his 16th homer of the year and the third over his last two games. The 27-year-old is slashing .243/.301/.458 with 38 extra-base hits, 41 RBI, 41 runs scored, six steals and a 26:103 BB:K over 367 at-bats. He's on pace for career highs in many hitting categories but must cut down on his strikeouts, as he's currently striking out 28.1 percent of the time.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk in Sunday's 7-3 loss to Miami.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop was pretty much the lone bright spot for Atlanta in its first game without Ronald Acuna (knee). Swanson went deep off Miami starter Pablo Lopez in the sixth inning and added a second long ball off reliever Anthony Bender in the ninth. Swanson closed the first half of the season hot with 13 hits, including two homers and five doubles, in his last seven contests. He's slashing .243/.302/.453 with 15 homers, 40 rBI, 40 runs scored and six stolen bases through 362 plate appearances.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with a double, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs in Wednesday's 14-3 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
It was a huge afternoon for Swanson, who entered Wednesday hitting .167 with one RBI in his previous eight games. The 27-year-old has been plagued by the strikeout, fanning in 30.9 percent of his 2021 at-bats and hitting just .233. That being said, it would likely take a further drop-off in production, and an extreme one at that, for Swanson to lose his grip on the starting shortstop job.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop provided Atlanta's second run by taking Vladimir Gutierrez deep in the sixth inning. Swanson is only hitting .216 (19-for-88) in June but he's otherwise been productive, adding five homers, two steals, 11 runs and 13 RBI to his ledger through 24 games.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
His third-inning blast off Yennsy Diaz came after Marcus Stroman (hip) made an early exit for the Mets, and it ended up providing the only offense in the game. Swanson continues to struggle with consistent contact as he's batting .227 (17-for-75) in June, but he's still produced a solid 12 homers, 31 runs and 33 RBI through 72 games on the season.

Swanson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
For the first time all season, Swanson will head to the bench in what likely amounts to a pre-planned rest day. Ehire Adrianza will pick up a start at shortstop in place of Swanson, who is slashing .214/.267/.405 through Atlanta's first 11 games of June.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-1 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop provided some insurance with his sixth-inning blast off Pittsburgh starter JT Brubaker. The hot-hitting Swanson has gone 10-for-19 (.526) with three homers, four doubles, four RBI and six runs scored in his last five games. The 27-year-old's season slash line is up to .237/.295/.445 with eight homers, 19 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases in 47 contests overall.
