Swanson Out, Cubs Adjust Infield | Chicago News

Dansby Swanson’s season hit a major snag when he exited Sunday’s game with a left oblique strain, forcing him off the field after just three innings. One of the Cubs’ most reliable players, he’s missed barely any games all year — now facing an expected 10+ day absence after an MRI. With Swanson sidelined, Nico Hoerner steps into shortstop and Pedro Ramirez takes over at second base, showcasing the team’s depth while highlighting how rare this injury is for such a durable player. The Cubs are watching closely for updates on his recovery and return timeline — a tough blow for both Swanson and the team as they push toward the finish line.
