DANSBY SWANSON NEWS

Dealt with cramping Cubs manager David Ross told reporters after Tuesday's win that Swanson (side) was dealing with cramping before the exit, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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 illustrate caution, especially with a scheduled day off coming Thursday.
