NEW YORK — The Chicago Cubs and shortstop Dansby Swanson are playing it safe with his injury.
Ahead of the four-day All-Star break beginning Monday, Swanson went on the 10-day injured list before Saturday’s 6-3 loss at Yankee Stadium because of his bruised left heel. The Cubs recalled infielder Miles Mastrobuoni, who started Saturday at third base.
The move is retroactive to Thursday, setting up Swanson to return as soon as July 16 versus the Boston Red Sox at Wrigley Field. Swanson hasn’t played since he sustained the injury Wednesday in Milwaukee.
