Dansby Swanson Fantasy Stats

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson went 3-for-5 with a triple, two home runs, six RBI, and three runs scored in Friday's 11-7 win over the Rockies. The 2x All-Star has now homered in back-to-back games and has hit safely in six of his last seven, going 8-for-25 (.320) during that stretch. With 21 home runs on the year, he's already eclipsed last season's total by five and is now up to a .251/.300/.428 slash line with a .313 wOBA and 102 wRC+ through 132 games played. The good news for fantasy managers is that he's hit the ball hard all season, registering a 12.2 percent barrel rate and 47.4 percent hard-hit rate, and his expected stats of xBA (.282), xSLG (.512), and xwOBA (.361) suggest there is room for this hot streak to run.

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson will receive his first day off on Sunday when the Cubs conclude a series against the Seattle Mariners. The shortstop has been a staple of the starting nine for each of the Cubs' first 76 games. Across this stint, Swanson has posted a solid .241/.293/.428 line with 10 doubles, 14 home runs, and seven stolen bases. Under the hood, Swanson has generated a .347 xwOBA, .264 xBA, .487 xSLG, and a 12.4% barrel rate, all of which are above the average marks. This afternoon, Nico Hoerner will shift to shortstop, which will open the keystone for Vidal Brujan. Swanson should be expected to return to the starting nine on Monday when they open a series against the Cardinals. This afternoon, the Cubs are best to fade in DFS facing right-hander Logan Gilbert.

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson came up clutch for his team during Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was quiet until he blasted a tiebreaking solo home run off left-hander Ryan Borucki in the sixth inning. Outside of that, Swanson didn't do much as he finished 1-for-3 with a homer and one RBI in the 2-1 victory. The veteran shortstop has picked up his play recently with a .278 batting average over the last five games. He should be starting in most fantasy formats right now.

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson continued his hot month of May against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. Swanson started off his day with a single, steal, and a run scored in the second inning. He would later smack a solo home run off Sean Burke in the fifth inning. Swanson would finish this game 2-for-3 with a solo homer, one RBI, two steals, and two walks in the win. The veteran shortstop is hitting .389 with three homers and eight RBI over his last 11 games. Fantasy managers should keep him in their starting lineups going forward.

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson smashed his ninth home run of the season on Monday night while helping his team to a 5-2 home win over the Marlins. Swanson went 2-for-4 with two RBI and opened the scoring with his towering blast in the fifth inning off Cal Quantrill. Swanson has a .248 batting average and .336 wOBA to go with his nine home runs and has added 24 RBI and 29 runs scored in his 42 games with the productive Cubs' offense. Swanson remains a solid fantasy starter at shortstop and is heating up after going 19-for-45 (.422) over his last 13 games with five home runs, a .543 wOBA, and a 14.3% barrel rate over that span.

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson had a productive game in a 9-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Swanson went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs, and two RBI to help lift the Cubs to the win. The veteran shortstop got off to a slow start in 2025 but has come on strong of late, hitting .462 with three homers and five RBI over his past seven contests. Overall, he's hitting .232 with seven doubles, seven homers, 25 runs, 20 RBI, and four steals across 142 at-bats this season.

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson went 2-for-4 with a home run and a single in Thursday's 8-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Georgia native connected on his sixth long ball of the season off of Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes to give the Cubbies their first run of the game -- sparking their eventual comeback. That marks back-to-back multi-hit efforts for Swanson with two homers in his last three outings. He's been a bit spotty this season, as he's registered eight multi-hit games thus far, but also 13 contests with none. The 31-year-old's strikeout percentage (28.3%) is up a few ticks and currently a career high. However, he's garnering a hard-hit ball more often (48.9%) and holds a .253 xBA, which is quite a bit off his .213 average (27-for-127).

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson has been dropped to eighth in the batting order for Tuesday's contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates and left-hander Andrew Heaney at PNC Park. Swanson had been batting fifth all year for the Cubbies, but he'll drop a couple spots this week while hitting just .181 (21-for-116) in his first 29 games played in 2025. It's more reason to stay away from the scuffling 31-year-old veteran in fantasy for the time being. In the last two weeks, Swanson has gone 8-for-42 (.191) with no homers, three RBI, two steals, two walks and 20 strikeouts. Catcher Carson Kelly will move up the lineup on Tuesday and will bat out of the cleanup spot for Chicago. For what it's worth, Swanson does have a hit and two RBI in his two career at-bats against Heaney and has hit .278 (5-for-18) with two of his four homers against lefties this year.

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson turned in a big game in a 10-6 win over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. Swanson went 2-for-4 with a homer, two runs, four RBI, and a stolen base to help lead Chicago to the win. The veteran infielder ripped a solo homer, his fourth of the season, off Texas starter Patrick Corbin to cut the Rangers' lead to 2-1 in the second inning. Swanson is showing nice power early in the season but he has just 12 hits in 53 at-bats to go along with two steals, nine runs, and 11 RBI. That being said, he is worth keeping active in fantasy lineups moving forward.

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson went 2-for-5 with a home run and a double during their victory over the Athletics on Monday evening. Swanson went deep for the second-straight game in the opening frame off Athletics right-hander Joey Estes. Later in the sixth inning, Swanson hit his second double of the season, scoring Kyle Tucker and Seiya Suzuki. Through his first seven games of the season, Swanson has posted a solid .259/.333/.556 slash line with four extra-base hits and five RBI. This is a nice start for Swanson as he held an underwhelming .242/.312/.390 line with just 16 round-trippers during the 2024 campaign. Fantasy managers should continue to view Swanson as a solid low-end No. 1 shortstop in all formats. He will face right-handed pitcher Luis Severino on Tuesday evening.
