Swanson Out 4-6 Weeks, Cubs Adapt | Chicago Cubs News

from Chicago Cubs News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Dansby Swanson’s sidelined with a Grade 2 oblique strain, expected to miss 4-6 weeks — potentially costing him key regular-season games. MRI confirms severity, and while recovery may lean toward six weeks, the Cubs are prioritizing his long-term health over rushing his return. Losing their shortstop stings, but with a strong roster cushion, postseason hopes remain alive. The focus now: managing without him and ensuring he’s fully healed for October’s crunch.
