Swanson (side) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson helped the Cubs erase a seven-run deficit Tuesday and went 4-for-4 at the dish before exiting Chicago's eventual 14-9 win in the sixth inning due to what the team termed as lower left side tightness. Manager David Ross clarified after the game that Swanson was dealing with cramping, and while the star shortstop will sit out Wednesday's series finale, he'll most likely be good to go for Friday's game in Los Angeles following a team off day Thursday. Nico Hoerner will slide over from the keystone to cover shortstop Wednesday in place of Swanson.

Ross also noted that Swanson was at the hospital for all of Tuesday's game with his wife Mallory Swanson, a member of the United States Woman's Soccer Team who tore the patella tendon in her knee. The shortstop was removed after going 4-for-4 to start the game, and while he may miss Wednesday's game as a precaution, it does appear he's avoided a significant injury.

Swanson was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mariners with left side tightness, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old went 4-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored before being removed from the contest. Swanson threw one ball to first base during infield warmups ahead of the sixth inning before he motioned to the dugout and left the field. It's unclear if he'll be available for Wednesday's series finale, though it wouldn't be surprising to see the Cubs exhibit caution, especially with a scheduled day off coming Thursday.

Swanson went 0-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

With offense tough to come by on the afternoon, Swanson manufactured the game's first run by beating out a potential double-play grounder in the fourth inning, stealing second, then coming home on a Cody Bellinger single. The theft was the first of the season for Swanson, and through his first six games as a Cub, the shortstop is batting .417 (10-for-24) with two doubles, two RBI and seven runs.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson has gone 6-for-8 across two games with the Cubs, which is a promising start after the shortstop signed a seven-year, $177 million contract in the offseason. He had a bit of a sluggish spring training, but it looks like he's locked in to begin the regular season and should be a strong fantasy asset once again.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored en route to a 4-0 victory over Milwaukee on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After getting two hits in three tries against Corbin Burnes, Swanson immediately began showing why the Cubs gave him a 7-year, $177 million contract in the offseason. Despite getting off to a slow start in spring training, Swanson figures to be one of the best hitters in Chicago's lineup this year.

Swanson is just 2-for-25 so far in Cactus League action with 11 strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a rough spring for Swanson, who joined the Cubs in the offseason on a seven-year, $177 million deal. Swanson batted .277 for Atlanta last year with 25 home runs, so he should be fine in the long run, though these struggles could carry over into the early part of the regular season as the shortstop gets acclimated to his new surroundings.

Swanson went 0-for-2 in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson was playing in his first spring training game with the Cubs after agreeing to a seven-year, $177 million deal in the offseason. His exhibition stats won't matter much, as the team simply wants to get him to the regular season healthy and comfortable with his new teammates. Swanson should be Chicago's everyday shortstop, with Nico Hoerner shifting over to second base.

Swanson agreed to a deal with the Cubs on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson will receive $177 million over seven years and will also get a full no-trade clause. He moves to the midwest after spending his first seven seasons in Atlanta. His last season was his best, as he's coming off a year in which he hit .277/.329/.447 while playing in all 162 games. His 18 steals were also a career high, while his 25 home runs were just two shy of the 27 he managed the year prior. He'll settle in as the everyday shortstop for the Cubs, pushing Nico Hoerner to second base.

Swanson rejected Atlanta's $19.65 million qualifying offer Tuesday and will remain a free agent, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swanson is likely to receive more in average-annual value via a multi-year deal on the open market, so it's no surprise to see him reject the qualifying offer. However, the rejection will affect the 28-year-old's market since whichever team signs him will have to forfeit a draft pick. Swanson had a .277/.329/.447 slash line with 25 home runs, 96 RBI and 18 stolen bases while playing in all 162 games last season, and he remains one of the better defensive shortstops in the game.
