Dansby Swanson Leaves Early on Tuesday With Glute Cramp
Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson (glute) was pulled early from Tuesday night's win over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park with a left-glute cramp, according to Taylor McGregor of the Marquee Sports Network. Before leaving the eventual 8-3 victory, Swanson went 1-for-1 at the plate with a double, two RBI, and a stolen base for the Cubbies. Nico Hoerner moved from second base to shortstop, with third baseman Matt Shaw moving from third to the keystone. Alex Bregman entered the ballgame to play third base for Chicago. The 32-year-old Swanson's injury doesn't sound very serious, but he could be rested on Wednesday in the series finale in San Diego. If Swanson remains out on Wednesday, either Shaw or Nicky Lopez figures to make a start in the infield for the Cubs. Swanson is hitting only .214 (21-for-98) early in the 2026 season, but he's already up to six home runs and has added 23 RBI, 23 runs scored, and two stolen bases to make him relevant in all fantasy baseball leagues.
