Swanson Out for Weeks, Cubs Adjust | MLB News

Cubs’ shortstop Dansby Swanson is sidelined with a Grade Two oblique strain, expected to miss up to six weeks — a brutal blow for a player known for elite defense and power. He’s headed to the 10-day IL after feeling pain during a swing, with Nico Hoerner stepping in at shortstop. The Cubs, holding a wild card lead, may weather the storm, but losing Swanson — a consistent presence and award finalist — is a major setback. MRI results will refine the timeline, but the outlook isn’t promising. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
