Swanson went 2-for-6 with a solo home run and three strikeouts during Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old has struck out five times through the first two games of the series in Milwaukee, but in his other six plate appearances he's gone 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, a walk and three runs. Swanson has a .759 OPS with 10 long balls through 81 games this season -- four of which have come in his past 15 contests -- and he'll need to pick up the pace if he's going to reach 25 homers for the third straight year.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson took Philadelphia starter Aaron Nola deep in the fourth inning, giving him three home runs over his past nine games and nine total for the season. The recent power surge is promising, though the shortstop remains off the pace of the 25 home runs he swatted last year and the 27 he popped in 2022, both with Atlanta.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with two walks, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Saturday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson delivered a strong effort in the first of two games for the Cubs in London. The shortstop batted fifth, which has been his typical lineup spot the past few weeks. Swanson has done well in this stretch, batting .292 over his past 12 games with two home runs and seven RBI. He's batting .268 for the season with a .770 OPS.

Swanson (wrist) is starting at shortstop and hitting fifth Saturday against the Cardinals, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson was held out of Wednesday's game against the Pirates, but after three days off he is able to return to the lineup. He has at least one hit in eight of his last 10 starts and will take his customary spot in the heart of the Cubs' lineup.

Swanson (wrist) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Pirates, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson suffered an apparent right wrist injury in Tuesday's 4-0 win and underwent X-rays, which came back negative, so he can be considered day-to-day. With the Cubs heading to London to face the Cardinals in their next contest Saturday, the team will be able to give the 29-year-old a few days of rest before reevaluating his availability. Nico Hoerner will slide over to shortstop while Christopher Morel handles second base and bats third as Chicago looks to complete the sweep over Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
For the fifth straight game, Swanson batted fifth, and he's now batting .286 during this stretch. The Cubs have moved Mike Tauchman up in the order with Swanson moving down. It could allow the shortstop to collect more RBI moving forward, though he may score fewer runs. Either way, his fantasy value hinges on his ability to make consistent contact at the plate, which Swanson is certainly capable of.

Swanson went 2-for-5 with an RBI single in Tuesday's 11-3 victory over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson hustled out an infield single in the sixth inning to drive in his lone run. The 29-year old has logged just two extra-base hits over his last 15 games and has failed to homer in 10 straight contests. Swanson is still looking to find his form this year after inking a seven-year, $177 million dollar contract in the offseason.

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.
