The Chicago Cubs have activated shortstop Dansby Swanson after he recovered from a heel injury. Swanson, who was acquired from the Atlanta Braves in a trade last December, had been on the 10-day injured list since April 28th due to a right heel contusion.
The 26-year-old shortstop had been playing well prior to his injury, batting .241 with two home runs and 10 RBIs in 24 games. He also had a .942 fielding percentage and had made only two errors in the field.
Swanson will be a welcome addition to the Cubs lineup as they look to make a playoff push. He is a solid defensive player and has the potential to be an offensive threat as well. He has shown flashes of brilliance in his short time with the Cubs, and the team is hoping he can continue to improve and help the team reach their goal of making the playoffs.
The Cubs have been struggling to stay afloat in the NL Central, but with Swanson back in the lineup, they have a chance to make a run at the division title. Swanson’s return could be just what the team needs to get back on track and make a push for the playoffs.
It remains to be seen how Swanson will perform after his return from injury, but the Cubs are hopeful that he will be able to pick up where he left off and help the team reach their goal of making the playoffs. With Swanson back in the lineup, the Cubs have a chance to make a run at the division title and prove that they are a legitimate contender in the NL Central.
