Cubs Hope Dansby Swanson Will Return This Weekend
1 year agoThe hope is that Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson (heel) will return from the injured list during the team's weekend series against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals, according to manager David Ross. Swanson has been out since July 8 due to a bruised left heel, but it looks as though he won't need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 29-year-old started taking batting practice on Monday and will continue to do baseball activities the rest of the week. When he returns, he'll push Nico Hoerner back to the keystone in Chicago. Swanson should at least be rostered in deep-mixed leagues as the everyday shortstop for the Cubs. He's hitting .258 (84-for-325) with 10 long balls, 36 RBI, four stolen bases and 41 runs scored this year.
