Swanson Out, Cubs Adjust | Chicago Cubs News

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

Dansby Swanson’s oblique injury sidelines him for at least four weeks — a rare break for the durable Cubs shortstop who’s missed just one game since 2021. Placed on the 10-day IL after an awkward swing, his absence hits at the worst possible time, but Chicago’s depth, led by Nico Hoerner, keeps them afloat. With playoff hopes on the line and Swanson’s return crucial, this is a test of resilience — and the Cubs’ ability to adapt without their anchor at shortstop.
