Cubs to Place Star Shortstop on Injured List
The Chicago Cubs are going to be without one of their top players, as Dansby Swanson is being placed on the injured list.
The Chicago Cubs are set to place their star shortstop, Dansby Swanson, on the injured list, according to Manager Craig Counsell speaking with reporters, including The Athletic's Patrick Mooney. Swanson is scheduled to undergo an MRI to assess the extent of his oblique injury. Despite the Cubs leading the National League wild card standings, his absence is a blow to the team.
Counsell expressed concern that Swanson's injury could prevent him from playing for an extended period, as he is a crucial member of the roster. Swanson, who is in his fourth season with the Cubs, has contributed significantly this season, tallying 18 home runs, 66 RBI, and batting .216 in 119 games. His performance has been consistent, with 24 home runs, 77 RBI, and a .244 average in the previous campaign. The Cubs will now await the MRI results to determine Swanson's recovery timeline.
