Dansby Swanson Swats Homer in Cubs' Rout of Orioles
by Chase Davis | Cubs Correspondent | Fri, Jul 12th 8:26am EDT
Dansby Swanson went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI as the Cubs blanked the Orioles 8-0.
Fantasy Impact:
Swanson's performance included driving in a pair and scoring once himself, though he also struck out once. Despite this solid game, Swanson's season has been underwhelming with a mere .209 batting average and a concerning strikeout rate of 27.9%. His power numbers are modest, with nine homers now on the year. Fantasy managers should view performances like today's as a positive sign, but Swanson's overall inconsistency and low batting metrics make him a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues. His ability to occasionally contribute across multiple categories does keep him on the radar as a potential utility or bench option, depending on the matchup.
