Swanson Cramps Up, Cubs Adjust Lineup

0:00On April 29, Cubs' shortstop Danzby Swanson lit up the Padres on Tuesday night with a two-run double in the second inning, jumping his team to A. Two-nothing lead-off Walker-Bueller, but after stealing third base, he cramped up in his left glute and had to bounce early from the game. The Cubs shuffled quick. Niko Harner slid over from second to cover shortstop, while Niki Lopez hopped off the bench-to-man second base before San. Diego came to bet. Swanson's been scorching hot lately, slashing 260 over 391 over 600 across his last 15 games with five homers, 15 RBI's, and walks matching his strikeouts at 11 each. On the year in 30 games, he's holding at 214 over 344 over 439, packing six homers, 23 RBI's, and 20 walks for the North Ciders. Team says it's just a cram, so fingers crossed he shakes it off fast and keeps that momentum rolling into the next series. MLB News. Today, powered by AI bringing you what matters on the diamond.
