Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Officially placed on 10-day IL
The Cubs placed Swanson (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Swanson is facing a 4-to-6 week recovery timeline due to a Grade 2 left oblique strain that he suffered during the Cubs' 11-4 loss to the Cardinals. Per Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com, the Cubs are hoping that Swanson's timeline is closer to four weeks, which would put him on track to return by mid-September with a couple of weeks left before the playoff begins, if the Cubs qualify. The Cubs selected Owen Miller's contract from Triple-A Iowa to provide infield depth, but Nico Hoerner figures to be Chicago's everyday shortstop for as long as Swanson is on the shelf.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Facing 4-to-6-week recovery timeline
Swanson was diagnosed Monday with a Grade 2 left oblique strain, which typically carries a recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
The Cubs are expected to officially place Swanson on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the White Sox after he was forced out of Sunday's 11-4 loss to the Cardinals with the injury. Assuming the projected recovery timeline holds, Swanson won't be available until around mid-September in a best-case scenario, though the Cubs are hopeful that he'll be back to full health in advance of the playoffs. While Swanson is out, Nico Hoerner is expected to settle in as the Cubs' everyday shortstop, and Pedro Ramirez could operate as the primary option at second base until Matt Shaw (hand) is ready to come off the IL.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Set for IL stint with oblique injury
Swanson (oblique) is set be placed on the injured list, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Swanson was removed from Sunday's 11-4 loss to St. Louis in the bottom of the third inning after torquing the left side of his body on a first-pitch swing in his only at-bat of the day. The severity of the oblique injury is currently unknown, and Swanson will undergo an MRI on Monday. The 32-year-old is likely looking at a lengthy absence, and in his absence, Nico Hoerner is expected to slide over to shortstop.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Exits with side injury
Swanson was removed from Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to left side discomfort reports.
Swanson left the game without making an official plate appearance, as he was lifted during his first trip to the dish of the afternoon in the bottom of the third inning after he was in pain following a swing. The Cubs will likely send Swanson in for further testing and potentially an MRI before determining his availability for the start of their three-game series with the White Sox on Monday. If Swanson needs to miss time, Nico Hoerner would likely slide over from second base and take over as the Cubs' primary shortstop.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Leaves game early Sunday
Swanson was removed from Sunday's game against the Cardinals midway through his first at-bat in the bottom of the third inning due to an apparent injury, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Following his first swing of the afternoon, Swanson immediately felt discomfort and left the game with a trainer by his side. James Triantos came on to pinch hit for Swanson and will likely cover second base for the remainder of the contest while Nico Hoerner shifts over to Swanson's spot in the field at shortstop. The Cubs should provide official word on his injury later in the day.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Strong effort in win
Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two additional runs scored and two total RBI in Wednesday's 12-6 win over the Nationals.
While Swanson was overshadowed by Alex Bregman, who exploded for a career-best three home runs and seven RBI, the veteran shortstop still put together a strong fantasy performance. His batting average has been lagging all season, though he's been able to offset that to some degree with 18 home runs and 16 stolen bases through 116 games. Swanson may frustrate on a day-to-day basis due to his low batting average, but he's still capable of posting big stat lines, and he's closing in on his second straight 20-20 campaign.

This was Swanson's second consecutive multi-hit performance, and he took Tarik Skubal deep in the third inning for his 17th long ball of the season. The veteran shortstop is hitting .262 with a .712 OPS since the All-Star break, though this was his first homer in that span -- and first since July 1, snapping a homerless streak that extended for 25 games and 89 at-bats.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Stays locked in Sunday
Swanson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Pirates.
Swanson tallied his second straight multi-hit performance, and he has four of them across his last six games. After a slow start to the season, the veteran shortstop is turning things around with a .286/.315/.486 slash line in 19 contests this month. Swanson is also approaching another 20-20 campaign with 16 home runs and 14 stolen bases, and his ability to hit for power and swipe bags has propped up his fantasy value even while his batting average languished.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

The veteran shortstop is batting just .209, which is down from his career .248 mark, though he's still managed to provide fantasy value with 16 home runs and 13 stolen bases. Swanson has also played in all but four of Chicago's games so far, and he should continue to see consistent playing time during the second half as he seeks his second straight 20-20 campaign.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Caps historic doubleheader
Swanson went 3-for-5 with a triple, four RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in the Cubs' 10-5 win over the Mets in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Just hours after erupting for two homers and seven RBI in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader, Swanson stayed red hot by delivering a four-RBI performance. His biggest swing came in the sixth inning, when he ripped a go-ahead RBI triple to give Chicago a lead it would never surrender. He also recorded his 10th stolen base of the year in the ninth inning. Swanson's 11 RBI across the doubleheader set a Cubs franchise record, and he has now totaled three homers and 15 RBI through the first three games of the series after entering Tuesday with just 14 RBI over his previous 48 contests. The veteran shortstop also extended his hitting streak to six games, with four straight multi-hit efforts while batting .478 (11-for-23) during that stretch.
