Swanson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop has been on a run-producing tear lately, going 5-for-15 over the last four games with a triple, two homers and nine RBI. Swanson's four home runs and .324 batting average suggest the 25-year-old is poised for a 2019 breakout, but he's been hot before and been unable to sustain it whether due to injury or regression. Enjoy this production while it lasts, but he still has plenty to prove to be considered a reliable fantasy asset.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk-off single in a 4-3 victory against the Marlins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old displayed more power last season, hitting 14 homers, but seven of them came in the final 55 games. He has three in the first nine contests of 2019, perhaps indicating Swanson's increased power is here to stay. He is off to a strong start, with a .346 (9-for-26) average, four extra-base hits, nine RBI and six runs in nine games this season.

Swanson went 1-for-2 with a walk, solo home run and two RBI on Wednesday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson took Jon Lester deep in the third inning to record his second homer of the season. He drove in his second run of the game on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning. Coming off a disappointing 2018 campaign, Swanson has started quickly, reaching base in four of the first five games this season.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
There was some concern about Swanson's ability to hit for power in the early part of the season following November wrist surgery, but he got good wood on the ball in the eighth inning and ripped a two-bagger down the third base line. The 25-year-old shortstop isn't an elite fantasy contributor but did hit a career-high 14 homers last season, a number he'll be looking to top provided he can stay healthy in 2019.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's exhibition game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
His solo shot in the sixth inning off David Hernandez was his first homer of the spring. Swanson's .290/.371/.419 slash line in 35 plate appearances is somewhat encouraging, but the shortstop figures to hit at the bottom of the Braves' order in 2019 -- he was slotted in ninth Monday as the team used a DH -- and his opportunities to make a fantasy impact could be limited.

Swanson went 1-for-2 with a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Facing bullpen arm Stephen Tarpley in the sixth inning, Swanson slapped a bases-loaded single to right field for his first two RBI of the spring. The shortstop has been brought along slowly after offseason wrist surgery as the Braves try to make sure he's healthy for Opening Day, and while he's been contributing, posting a solid 3:5 BB:K in eight games and going 2-for-2 on steal attempts, none of his five hits have gone for extra bases. Swanson figures to hit near the bottom of the order in a stacked Atlanta lineup and, barring a major breakout, the 25-year-old's fantasy ceiling will be limited in 2019.

Swanson went 1-for-2 with a single and a run scored in Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson played three innings at shortstop in his Grapefruit League debut Tuesday. According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, manager Brian Snitker wants Swanson to get his "legs under him" before playing back-to-back games, so he'll get Wednesday off before returning to action Friday against the Phillies (Thursday is a scheduled off day for the Braves).
