Swanson went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop has gone yard three times in the last four games and six times in the last 13, adding eight multi-hit performances to the mix to give him a blistering .345/.377/.690 slash line during that stretch. Swanson's already one homer shy of tying last year's career-high 14 as he puts together a breakout campaign at age 25.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a double, home run, three RBI, two runs and a walk during a 7-4 victory against the Tigers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old has continued to experience quite a power surge this season. Swanson only had 14 homers all of last year, but he already has 12 long balls in 59 games during 2019. That's helped him post a .495 slugging percentage. Swanson is also batting .264 with 41 RBI, 31 runs and five steals in 216 at-bats.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop connected for a solo shot off Miles Mikolas in the sixth inning, then launched a two-run blast off Giovanny Gallegos in the eighth. Swanson now has 10 homers on the year -- four of which have come in the last eight games -- and his .262/.319/.492 slash line is a definite step up for the 25-year-old.

Swanson went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and a walk in Wednesday's 9-2 victory over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
It's nice to see Swanson finally taking advantage of the second spot in the lineup. The shortstop reached three times and crushed his eighth home run of the season, this time off Jeff Samardzija. Swanson's successful night at the dish improves his average to .254 along with 32 RBI and 23 runs scored.

Swanson isn't starting Monday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson has hit safely in each of his last three games, but he'll catch a breather Monday night in the series opener. Johan Camargo gets the nod at shortstop and is batting seventh in Swanson's absence.

Swanson went 1-for-6 with a three-run homer in Friday's win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
His sixth-inning blast was part of a nine-run inning for Atlanta, and it's a testament to how much offense the club generated in its 12-8 win that Swanson still ended up leaving seven runners on base on the night. The shortstop is slashing .244/.304/.456 with seven homers, four steals, 21 runs and 29 RBI.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Friday's win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop had an 11-game hitting streak snapped Thursday, but he wasted no time getting back on that horse. Swanson now sports a .273/.342/.500 slash line through 39 games with six homers, four steals, 19 runs and 25 RBI, putting the 25-year-old well on pace for a career-best campaign.

Swanson will start at shortstop and bat second Thursday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves will deploy Swanson out of the two hole for the third straight game, but he'll likely fall in the order this weekend, when Josh Donaldson (calf) is expected to rejoin the lineup. Swanson at least hasn't looked out of place as the No. 2 hitter with two extra-base knocks in those contests, including a three-run home run Wednesday.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop took Luis Perdomo deep in the seventh inning for his sixth long ball of the year. Swanson's .263/.336/.545 slash line and 25 RBI through 30 games are well ahead of his 2018 performance, and the 25-year-old remains on track for a breakout campaign in the power department.
