Eligibility
Dansby Swanson is missing from the lineup for the Chicago Cubs against the New York Mets Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Swanson will take a seat on the bench for rest reasons, with Nico Hoerner starting at shortstop and batting leadoff against the Mets for manager Craig Counsell Thursday.
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.
Dansby Swanson is back in the lineup for the Chicago Cubs against the Miami Marlins Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Swanson returns after taking a seat on the bench for the second game of a doubleheader Saturday night, starting at shortstop and batting fifth against the Marlins for manager Craig Counsell Sunday.
Dansby Swanson is missing from the lineup for the second game of a doubleheader between the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins Saturday.
Fantasy Impact

Dansby Swanson was able to find success at the plate against the Dodgers Friday, going 2-for-3 at the plate, including a solo home run in a 9-7 win.
Fantasy Impact
Swanson continues to make an impact at the plate to begin the season, elevating his season batting average to an impressive .348 through seven games. The talented shortstop should continue to provide fantasy managers with a consistent option in lineups as the season continues.
