With parents on hand, Swanson delivers perfect birthday gift for mom PITTSBURGH -- Dansby Swanson hit a grand slam in Monday’s series opener against the Pirates. It was a huge homer in a huge offensive attack....
Blasts grand slam Monday Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a grand slam and an additional run scored in Monday's 18-8 win over the Pirates.
Impact Swanson's grand slam in the sixth inning was part of an eight-run frame for the Cubs as the team broke things open. The shortstop is now up to 11 long balls this season, including two in his last seven contests. Swanson hit at least 20 homers in each of the last three years, so he'll need to really heat up down the stretch to reach that plateau once again.

Tallies three hits in win Swanson went 3-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Twins.
Impact Swanson tallied just his second three-hit effort of the season and first since June 8. It's mostly been a struggle for the shortstop, who's batting just .230 with a .658 OPS for the year, but he's been better lately. Over his last 15 games, Swanson is batting .353 with an .855 OPS. The 30-year-old's MLB track record suggests he could sustain this level of production and finish the season on a high note.

Reaches three times in win Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Swanson continued his recent run of improved play and extended his hitting streak to three games. Over his last 10 contests, the shortstop is batting .343. It's been a disappointing season overall for Swanson, as he's batting just .223 with a .647 OPS, with the former in line to be a new career worst. However, he could be turning a corner, and fantasy managers should remain patient down the stretch based on Swanson's track record.

Reaches, scores twice in win Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-4 win against the Royals.
Impact It's mostly been a struggle this season for Swanson, but he's been showing some signs of life lately. The shortstop is riding a five-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 7-for-18 with a couple of runs scored and two stolen bases. Swanson is slashing just .219/.291/.345 overall, however, which are all down from last year. He'll need a big finish to get his numbers more in line with his strong results from the past few seasons.
