Dansby Swanson Placed on Injured List
Substantial Loss for Chicago Cubs
Shortstop Sidelined with Hamstring Strain
Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson has been placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 6, 2023, due to a left hamstring strain. The injury occurred during the Cubs' recent series against the Cincinnati Reds and is expected to sideline Swanson for at least two weeks.
Swanson has been a key contributor to the Cubs this season, providing both offensive and defensive leadership. He signed a seven-year, $177 million contract with the team in December 2023 and has been a consistent force in the lineup, batting .289 with eight home runs and 35 RBIs in 77 games.
The Cubs will miss Swanson's presence both on and off the field, as he has been a vocal leader and role model for younger players. The team will likely turn to Nick Madrigal or Jonathan Villar to fill in at shortstop during his absence.
