Roster %
Eligibility
Dansby Swanson has been placed on the 10-day IL due to a right knee sprain.
Fantasy Impact
Swanson has been dealing with pain in his knee since April 25th and the Cubs were hoping he would be better after a few days off. The issue seems to still be lingering, so the Cubs will play it safe and put the shortstop on the IL. Nico Hoerner will get the bulk of starts at shortstop, with Nick Madrigal and Miles Mastrobuoni getting time at second base.
Dansby Swanson is not in the starting lineup Wednesday vs the Padres due to a right knee issue.
Fantasy Impact
It's unclear how the injury came about, but it looks to be a minor issue. The Cubs have an off day on Thursday, so the hope is that he will be good to go on Friday. Nico Hoerner moves over to shortstop Wednesday with Miles Mastrobuoni slotting in at second base.
Dansby Swanson hit a home run in Sunday's win over the Brewers.

Dansby Swanson went 1-for-4 in the Cubs' 4-3 win over the Astros with a home run and three RBI.
Fantasy Impact
His solo shot proved crucial in a tightly contested game, contributing significantly to the Cubs' narrow victory. Despite a rather modest .235 batting average for the season, Swanson's power stroke was on display, marking his third homer of the year. His ability to drive in runs, now totaling 11 RBI, remains a key asset for fantasy managers. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to be areas of concern. Fantasy managers should view Swanson as a potential source of sporadic power and RBI, but temper expectations given his overall hitting metrics.
