Dansby Swanson went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Cubs' 3-1 win over the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

His solo shot contributed crucially to the team's victory. Despite a batting average of .241 this season, Swanson's power numbers remain respectable, with 16 homers and 64 RBI through 143 games. His consistent power production makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, particularly in leagues that reward extra bases and RBI. However, his high strikeout rate and relatively low batting average could be a concern for average-focused managers. Swanson's ability to mix in some speed with 17 stolen bases adds a nice touch to his fantasy profile, making him a versatile option despite the batting average woes.

Dansby Swanson went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI as the Cubs trounced the Athletics 9-2.

Fantasy Impact

His performance featured a crucial home run that helped extend the Cubs' lead, contributing significantly to the team's victory. Despite a season batting average of just .237, Swanson's ability to drive in runs (now totaling 62 RBI) and his occasional power (15 homers) keep him relevant in fantasy formats, particularly those that value middle infielders with some pop. However, his high strikeout rate and relatively low batting average limit his appeal in average-focused leagues. Swanson's fantasy managers should continue to expect sporadic bursts of productivity like this, though consistency might remain elusive.
