Swanson went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored Sunday in the Braves' 10-3 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson has dropped from the leadoff spot to No. 2 in the batting order after Ronald Acuna returned to action Friday following a three-game absence due to a hamstring issue, but both players enjoyed productive weekends as the Braves and Nationals split their four-game set. The shortstop has already churned out three two-hit games in September and is now sitting on a .294/.347/.475 slash line heading into Monday's series opener versus the Marlins.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a home run and a three RBI in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
He was less impressive in the nightcap, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, but Swanson's two-run shot in the third inning of the opener proved to be the game-winning hit in a 7-1 victory. On the season, the shortstop is slashing .294/.337/.484 with six homers, four steals, 24 RBI and 34 runs in 38 games.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a double in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson got aboard with a double in the ninth inning and he scored on a Travis d'Arnaud single to cut the deficit to three, but that was as close as Atlanta got. The 26-year-old Swanson entered Wednesday with just two hits in his last 17 at-bats. He's hitting .276/.321/.421 with two homers, three stolen bases, 14 RBI and 15 runs scored in 20 games this season.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop's career high for steals in a season is only 10, but Swanson has already swiped three bags through nine games in 2020 -- all of them in the last four contests. Seeing a steady diet of Mets pitchers and catchers has certainly helped, as Atlanta's NL East rivals have been notoriously poor at shutting down the opposition's running game in recent years, but Swanson has the athleticism to make an impact in that category if he stays aggressive on the basepaths. He's been just as hot at the plate as well, hitting .382 (13-for-34) with two homers, nine runs and 11 RBI.
