Swanson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's victory over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson posted his eighth three-hit game of the season, but it was his first since May 9. The Cubs' shortstop started the season with a power outage, homering just once in the month of April. He has now homered five times in 29 games since April ended. He is not on pace to top 20 home runs, a mark he has hit in three straight season, but his OPS sits at .801 thanks to a career-high walk rate.

Swanson went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson showed off his speed and recorded his second triple of the season. The shortstop recorded his first multi-hit game since May 15 and is now batting .264 with a .782 OPS in his first season with the Cubs. He's been solid if not spectacular so far, but Swanson remains one of the better fantasy assets at his position.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson popped his fifth home run of the season in the first inning, but then he cooled off along with his teammates. The shortstop has been solid in his first year with the Cubs, as he's now batting .265 with a .783 OPS. He'll have to get going on the power front, however, if he wants to reach the 25 home runs he tallied last year with Atlanta.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a two-run home run and three total RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson entered the contest batting just .235 in eight games this month but was able to get right back on track. The shortstop only has three home runs so far after hitting 52 long balls the last two seasons, though his .285 average and .800 OPS are up from his marks in 2021 and 2022. Swanson has settled in pretty well with the Cubs so far, and the power will likely come.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-1 victory over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson went deep against MacKenzie Gore in the fifth inning, belting a 389-foot two-run shot to give Chicago a 4-1 lead. It was the second homer of the season for the shortstop, each of which has come over his past five games. While Swanson's power production has been disappointing thus far, he's hit well with a .301/.419/.398 slash line. He's also racked up 18 runs, nine RBI and three stolen bases.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson has been good overall in his first season with the Cubs, as he's batting .284, though this was his first home run in the new uniform. The shortstop hit 25 long balls last year with Atlanta and 27 home runs in 2021, so his power production will likely pick up, which would enhance his already solid fantasy value. He's also locked into a premium spot near the top of the lineup most days and has already scored 17 runs in 23 games.

Swanson went 0-for-2 but drew three walks and scored three runs in Wednesday's 12-2 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson showed a good eye at the plate and parlayed that into an effective day. He's been a good tablesetter for the Cubs, as he now has 15 runs scored in 16 games. Swanson scored a career-high 99 runs last season with Atlanta, and at this rate, he looks primed to surpass that figure if he stays healthy. The shortstop is also batting a career-best .333.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base in Monday's 10-1 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

After missing a game last Wednesday versus the Mariners with a side injury, Swanson went hitless with seven strikeouts in eight at-bats in his first two games back in action, but he's settled back in nicely at the plate since then. He rapped out three hits and stole a base in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers, and then stayed hot Monday with his seventh multi-hit effort of the season. Though he has collected only three extra-base knocks (all doubles) through his first 14 games with the Cubs, Swanson has rewarded fantasy managers with a .368 average, three stolen bases, 12 runs and five RBI.

Swanson (side) is back in the lineup Friday versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson sat out of Wednesday's series finale against the Mariners due to a side issue, but it doesn't appear to have been anything serious. He is at shortstop and batting second Friday for the Cubs.

Swanson (side) expects to return to the Cubs' lineup Friday against the Dodgers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson is out of the lineup Wednesday after exiting Tuesday's contest with a side issue, but it's been termed as merely cramping and he should be ready to roll after Thursday's off day. The big free-agent signee is off to a superb start with his new club, sporting a .400/.467/.450 batting line with two doubles and one stolen base.
