Swanson is out of the lineup Friday due to quadriceps soreness and is likely to sit Saturday as well, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The goal seems to be to get Swanson rested up to play in Sunday's first-half finale. According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Swanson was dealing with some discomfort in his quad Thursday when he homered twice as part of a three-hit effort -- a good sign that it's nothing too serious. Johan Camargo is filling in at shortstop.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in a win against the Phillies on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After Atlanta fell behind by four runs in the top of the first inning, Swanson kicked off its comeback with a solo shot in the bottom of the frame. He followed with a run-scoring double in the second and capped the scoring with a three-run blast in the eighth. The multi-homer game was Swanson's second of the season and the five RBI established a career high. In what has been his best season as a pro, Swanson is now slashing .274/.334/.500 with 17 homers and 57 RBI in 336 at-bats.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and three RBI in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old continues to swing a hot bat, driving in eight runs in the last six games. Swanson's .259/.325/.470 line on the year remains somewhat lackluster, but it's an improvement in all three slash categories on last year's performance, and his 15 homers, six steals, 51 RBI and 53 runs through 82 games have given him solid fantasy value.

Swanson went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 15-1 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Since opening June with eight two-hit outings in 11 starts, Swanson's bat has predictably cooled down. He's gone 3-for-14 over his last four games, but thanks to a 4:2 BB:K in that span, he's been able to bring value out of the No. 2 spot in the lineup. Swanson's favorable spot in the order between Ronald Acuna and Freddie Freeman should continue to prop up his run and RBI counts even amid his relative dry spells at the plate.
