CHICAGO — Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson’s durability has become intertwined with his game.
He started all but one game the last three seasons for the Atlanta Braves, playing more than 3,318 innings at one of the most demanding positions. So some concern is inherent when Swanson pulls himself out of a game.
Swanson exited Tuesday’s 14-9 victory against the Seattle Mariners in the sixth inning because of tightness in his lower left side.
