Chicago Cubs shortstop
Dansby Swanson smashed his ninth home run of the season on Monday night while helping his team to a 5-2 home win over the Marlins. Swanson went 2-for-4 with two RBI and opened the scoring with his towering blast in the fifth inning off
Cal Quantrill. Swanson has a .248 batting average and .336 wOBA to go with his nine home runs and has added 24 RBI and 29 runs scored in his 42 games with the productive Cubs' offense. Swanson remains a solid fantasy starter at shortstop and is heating up after going 19-for-45 (.422) over his last 13 games with five home runs, a .543 wOBA, and a 14.3% barrel rate over that span.

Chicago Cubs shortstop
Dansby Swanson had a productive game in a 9-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Swanson went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs, and two RBI to help lift the Cubs to the win. The veteran shortstop got off to a slow start in 2025 but has come on strong of late, hitting .462 with three homers and five RBI over his past seven contests. Overall, he's hitting .232 with seven doubles, seven homers, 25 runs, 20 RBI, and four steals across 142 at-bats this season.

Chicago Cubs shortstop
Dansby Swanson went 2-for-4 with a home run and a single in Thursday's 8-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Georgia native connected on his sixth long ball of the season off of Pirates pitcher
Paul Skenes to give the Cubbies their first run of the game -- sparking their eventual comeback. That marks back-to-back multi-hit efforts for Swanson with two homers in his last three outings. He's been a bit spotty this season, as he's registered eight multi-hit games thus far, but also 13 contests with none. The 31-year-old's strikeout percentage (28.3%) is up a few ticks and currently a career high. However, he's garnering a hard-hit ball more often (48.9%) and holds a .253 xBA, which is quite a bit off his .213 average (27-for-127).

Chicago Cubs shortstop
Dansby Swanson has been dropped to eighth in the batting order for Tuesday's contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates and left-hander
Andrew Heaney at PNC Park. Swanson had been batting fifth all year for the Cubbies, but he'll drop a couple spots this week while hitting just .181 (21-for-116) in his first 29 games played in 2025. It's more reason to stay away from the scuffling 31-year-old veteran in fantasy for the time being. In the last two weeks, Swanson has gone 8-for-42 (.191) with no homers, three RBI, two steals, two walks and 20 strikeouts. Catcher
Carson Kelly will move up the lineup on Tuesday and will bat out of the cleanup spot for Chicago. For what it's worth, Swanson does have a hit and two RBI in his two career at-bats against Heaney and has hit .278 (5-for-18) with two of his four homers against lefties this year.
