• Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Underwent core surgery

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Swanson underwent surgery to address a core injury in early October, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. Going under the knife immediately after the end of the regular season should allow Swanson to return in 2025 without missing any time. The 30-year-old infielder slashed .242/.312/.390 with 16 homers, 66 RBI and 19 steals during his second season in Chicago and is expected to remain the Cubs' everyday shortstop next season.
