Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson launched his 13th home run of the season in the third inning, helping the Cubs build an early 3-0 lead that they eventually squandered. Chicago's shortstop has largely fallen short of expectations overall this year, but he's been better lately, posting a .296 average, four long balls and 14 RBI across his last 15 games. Swanson should continue to see regular playing time as the Cubs fight to stay in the playoff race.

Swanson went 4-for-6 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson matched his career-best with four hits Sunday and has now recorded an RBI in six-consecutive games.

Swanson later collected an additional RBI when he worked a bases-loaded walk against reliever Ben Heller. The 30-year-old has found a groove in August, hitting .276 (21-for-76) with three homers, 16 runs scored, 18 RBI and seven steals across 23 games, after batting a paltry .219 through July 31.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a grand slam and an additional run scored in Monday's 18-8 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson's grand slam in the sixth inning was part of an eight-run frame for the Cubs as the team broke things open. The shortstop is now up to 11 long balls this season, including two in his last seven contests. Swanson hit at least 20 homers in each of the last three years, so he'll need to really heat up down the stretch to reach that plateau once again.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson was active in the easy win as he notched his first game this season with multiple stolen bases. The shortstop's overall production is down from last year, though he does have 12 steals, which is up from eight in 2023. Swanson's career high in the category is 18, set in 2022 when he played for Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs only mustered five total hits, but Swanson provided the big jolt of the night as he popped his 10th home run of the season and first since July 11. The shortstop had at least 20 long balls in each of the last three years, though he's running out of time to reach that mark in 2024. On a more positive note, Swanson is at least batting .302 this month.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson tallied just his second three-hit effort of the season and first since June 8. It's mostly been a struggle for the shortstop, who's batting just .230 with a .658 OPS for the year, but he's been better lately. Over his last 15 games, Swanson is batting .353 with an .855 OPS. The 30-year-old's MLB track record suggests he could sustain this level of production and finish the season on a high note.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson continued his recent run of improved play and extended his hitting streak to three games. Over his last 10 contests, the shortstop is batting .343. It's been a disappointing season overall for Swanson, as he's batting just .223 with a .647 OPS, with the former in line to be a new career worst. However, he could be turning a corner, and fantasy managers should remain patient down the stretch based on Swanson's track record.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-4 win against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

It's mostly been a struggle this season for Swanson, but he's been showing some signs of life lately. The shortstop is riding a five-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 7-for-18 with a couple of runs scored and two stolen bases. Swanson is slashing just .219/.291/.345 overall, however, numbers which are all down from last year. He'll need a big finish to get his numbers more in line with his strong results from the past few seasons.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson stole second after leading off the ninth inning with a single, but the Cubs couldn't bring him home.

Swanson has struggled to a .217/.289/.347 slash line with nine home runs, seven steals, 31 RBI, 37 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple over 92 games this season.
