Swanson went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in a win over Tampa Bay on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson knocked in a run with a ground-rule double in the sixth inning and subsequently came around to score on an infield single by Ozzie Albies. He also swiped a bag in the seventh frame after reaching base on a throwing error. The 26-year-old has gotten off to a hot start this season, slashing .391/.391/.739 through six games.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 14-5 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
After going yard Sunday, the shortstop stayed in a groove with his power stroke. Swanson has gone 6-for-15 through four games with two homers and seven RBI to begin 2020, but after striking out twice Monday he also carries a shaky 0:6 BB:K, a sign he could cool down in a hurry.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with a team-high five RBI, a homer and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-1 drubbing of the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson finished the game a triple short of the cycle. He provided an RBI single in the first inning and knocked in another pair in the third as part of a five-run rally. The shortstop's biggest hit of the night was a fourth-inning two-run home run. He's 5-for-12 (.417) with six RBI and three runs scored through three games this season.

Swanson took Mike Foltynewicz deep for an opposite-field, three-run home run in Wednesday's intrasquad game, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson's blast proved to be the decisive hit of the contest before the game was halted in the third inning due to rain. The 26-year-old is locked in as the Braves' everyday shortstop for the 60-game season, and now that he's healthy again, he could be a sneaky late-round value in fantasy drafts. Swanson posted an .822 OPS to go with 17 home runs and seven stolen bases in the first half of the 2019 campaign, but he struggled to regain his form at the plate upon returning from a foot injury that cost him a good portion of the second half. He slashed just .204/.315/.254 and struck out in 29.7 percent of his plate appearances after the All-Star break.

Swanson was hitting 7-for-27 (.259) with a double and a 2:6 BB:K when spring training was suspended.
EDGE Analysis
The spring numbers weren't impressive, but Swanson had nothing to prove in camp. The 26-year-old hit the ball a little harder in 2019 and saw a slight uptick in his power numbers as a result, but as yet his long-anticipated breakout hasn't occurred. Swanson is locked into the starting shortstop role in a loaded Atlanta lineup.

Swanson agreed to a one-year, $3.15 million contract with the Braves on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson had a solid 2019 with a .251/.325/.422 slash line with 17 home runs, 10 stolen bases and 65 RBI in 127 games, and he gets just over $3 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The 25-year-old is primed for another season as Atlanta's starting shortstop in 2020.

Swanson is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson has gone 0-for-8 with four strikeouts in a pair of games since returning from the injured list. He'll give way to Adeiny Hechavarria at shortstop for Wednesday's series finale as the Braves look to ease him back into action following nearly a month-long stay on the shelf.

Swanson (foot) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson wound up missing over a month with a bruised foot. He was in the middle of a career year prior to the injury, hitting .265/.330/.468 with 17 homers in 100 games. His return will push Adeiny Hechavarria to the bench, with outfielder Adam Duvall optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to clear a roster spot.
