Dansby Swanson

Dansby Swanson went 2-for-3 with a strikeout in Friday's spring game against the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Swanson has gotten off to a hot start this spring, batting .455 thus far. Although he will hit in the lower half of the order he is an important cog in the offense if the team hopes to repeat as NL East champions. He certainly has the upside to do well, and if he can put things together he might become an All-Star this year.

Dansby Swanson went 2-for-3 in Monday's spring game against the Blue Jays and has a stat line of .500/.400/.500 thus far.

Fantasy Impact

It's a small sample size but the Braves need Swanson to be productive this year if they are to repeat as NL East champions. He'll bat lower in the order during the regular season but might be worth an inexpensive flier for fantasy rosters this season. He certainly has some upside if he can put it all together this year.

Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, a run scored, and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Phillies. The steal was his eighth of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Swanson has not been the same player as he was earlier in the season since returning from the injured list, and he is no longer hitting near the top of a talented Atlanta lineup.

Dansby Swanson has been activated off of the 10-day injured list. Adam Duvall was sent to Triple-A as a subsequent move.

Fantasy Impact

Swanson was slashing .265/.330/.468 before the injury, four weeks ago. Swanson will likely need a week or so before he gets back into his groove. With the playoffs coming around, if you are needing shortstop depth Swanson can certainly fill that void as he is available in roughly 46-percent of all leagues.

Dansby Swanson (foot) will begin a rehab assignment with Lowe-A Rome on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Swanson has been sidelined since July 23rd and is on track to rejoin the Braves when rosters expand in September. He will start at designated hitter for the first game. Adeiny Hechavarria and Charlie Culberson will continue to start at short stop until Swason returns.
