Swanson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson looks to be receiving some routine maintenance after he had been in the lineup for every game dating back to June 14, a stretch of 87 consecutive starts. Unless he's used off the bench, Swanson will put a five-game hitting streak on hold before likely returning to the starting nine Tuesday. Luis Vazquez will fill in for Swanson at shortstop on Monday.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson was also caught stealing once, putting him at 18-for-21 on the basepaths this season. The shortstop has had a challenging year at times, but he's ending on a high note -- he's batting .313 (26-for-83) in September over 20 contests. Swanson's late surge has him up to a .241/.311/.386 slash line with 16 home runs, 64 RBI, 79 runs scored, 23 doubles and two triples across 145 games this year.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson provided a nice start for the Cubs, going deep just two batters into the contest for his 16th long ball of the year. The shortstop continued his strong finish to the season, as he's slashing .316/.366/.513 this month with four home runs, 11 RBI and 20 runs scored across 18 games. Swanson's overall stat line will still come in below his usual standards, but he's possibly building some momentum heading into 2025.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with four runs scored in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The four runs in a game are easily a season high for Swanson, as his previous best was two runs, which he did on several occasions. The shortstop has been solid this month with a .319 batting average, three home runs, 10 RBI and 19 runs scored through 17 games. Swanson should continue to see regular playing time as the Cubs try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

Swanson went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 9-2 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

While Swanson has had a disappointing season overall by his standards, he's at least trying to finish it on a high note. The shortstop is batting .305 in September with three home runs, nine RBI and 15 runs scored in 14 games. The surge has pushed Swanson's season average up to .237, and he now has 15 total long balls through 139 games.

Swanson went 1-for-5 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson is up to 17 steals on the year, with 10 of them coming since the start of August. He's batting .275 in that span, a vast improvement on his .235 average for the year. The shortstop has still offered decent counting stats with 14 home runs, 58 RBI, 72 runs scored and 23 doubles over 138 contests, but his .685 OPS is his lowest mark in a full season since 2017.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Wednesday's 12-0 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a down year overall for Swanson, but he's getting things going lately. Over his last 10 games, the Chicago shortstop is batting .385 with four home runs, 14 runs scored and 15 RBI. Swanson is now up 14 long balls for the season. The 30-year-old might be hard pressed to reach the 20-homer plateau for the fourth straight year, though given his recent hot streak, it's not out of the question with 22 games to go.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson launched his 13th home run of the season in the third inning, helping the Cubs build an early 3-0 lead that they eventually squandered. Chicago's shortstop has largely fallen short of expectations overall this year, but he's been better lately, posting a .296 average, four long balls and 14 RBI across his last 15 games. Swanson should continue to see regular playing time as the Cubs fight to stay in the playoff race.

Swanson went 4-for-6 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson matched his career-best with four hits Sunday and has now recorded an RBI in six-consecutive games. After a lackluster start to the season, the 30-year-old has quietly provided excellent fantasy value since August 1, batting .287 with 10 extra-base hits, 21 runs scored, 22 RBI and eight stolen bases in 106 plate appearances.

Swanson went 1-for-2 with a homer, two runs scored, three RBI and two walks in Tuesday's 9-5 victory over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

The Chicago shortstop extended his team's lead to 5-2 when he launched a 421-foot, two-run homer off Jared Jones in the fourth inning. Swanson later collected an additional RBI when he worked a bases-loaded walk against reliever Ben Heller. The 30-year-old has found a groove in August, hitting .276 (21-for-76) with three homers, 16 runs scored, 18 RBI and seven steals across 23 games, after batting a paltry .219 through July 31.
