Goes deep in Friday win Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 9-7 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Swanson is off to a hot start, as he now has two home runs and a robust 1.100 OPS across seven games. The shortstop got off to a bit of a slow start in his first campaign with the Cubs last year, and while he picked things up a bit, the .744 OPS he finished with was his lowest mark since 2018. It looks like Swanson could be primed for bigger numbers in his second season in Chicago.

Closes season on bench Swanson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Swanson started the last 64 games after his stint on the injured list with a heel issue in July, but he'll receive Sunday off with the Cubs eliminated from playoff contention. The 29-year-old joined Chicago on a seven-year, $177 million contract last December and is set to finish the season with an underwhelming .244/.328/.416 slash line, 22 homers, nine steals, 80 RBI and 81 runs in 147 contests.

The Dansby Swanson effect is a real thing for a Cubs team clinging to a playoff spot Ahead of a crucial series in Atlanta, Dansby Swanson is a key cog in the Cubs' machine as they push for the playoffs.

Launches 22nd home run Swanson went 2-for-5 with a home run and three total RBI in Thursday's loss to the Pirates.
Impact Swanson singled home a run in the seventh inning, then plated two more on a home run in the ninth, his 22nd of the season. The shortstop had 25 long balls last year and a career-best 27 a year before that, so he'll need a strong final nine games of 2023 to reach either of those figures. Swanson has still been a solid contributor for the Cubs as they fight for a playoff spot.

Triples, scores twice Tuesday Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a triple and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss to the Rockies.
Impact Swanson delivered his fourth straight multi-hit effort and also tallied just his third triple of the season. The shortstop is heating up at the right time as the Cubs look to chase down a playoff spot. Swanson is batting .327 this month with nine runs scored in 13 games.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Leads team to win Sunday Swanson went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Swanson hit a solo home run in the third inning, giving him 20 long balls for the third straight season. The shortstop added an RBI single in the fifth for good measure. While he's not been quite as productive as he was with Atlanta last year, Swanson has still been pretty good in his first season in Chicago. He should remain a key player for the Cubs down the stretch as they look to lock up a playoff spot.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Scores three times in critical win Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 11-8 win over the Giants.
Impact Swanson played a key role as the Cubs secured a big win over San Francisco, a team they're trying to hold off for a playoff spot. The shortstop is batting a disappointing .246 after hitting .277 for Atlanta last year, though he's still been fairly productive with 19 home runs, 67 runs scored and 70 RBI across 125 games. Swanson should remain an important cog for Chicago's offense down the stretch.
SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hits 19th home run Swanson went 2-for-4 with a home run and four total RBI in Monday's 8-6 loss to the Tigers.
Impact Swanson hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning, then drove in two more runs on a single later in the game. The shortstop needs one more long ball to reach 20 homers for the third straight year. Swanson also now has 64 RBI this season, which is still a ways away from the career-high 96 he recorded last year with Atlanta.
