The Cubs are getting Matt Shaw back today, and have a number of very good, very interchangeable pieces to cover the positional group while starting shortstop Dansby Swanson is out. Most teams do not have nearly as much quality coverage.
… but it’s inarguable that the Cubs are better when Swanson is starting at shortstop and Nico Hoerner is starting at second base. That’s what we want to see, and that’s where the Cubs need to be come playoff time.
To that end, a positive visual update on Dansby Swanson’s recovery from an oblique strain:

— Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) August 28, 2026To be clear, this is far from full speed plays in the field, and VERY far from full rotational swings at the plate. That’s still going to take a lot of time. But I take it as a very good sign that the Cubs and Swanson feel comfortable enough with the healing in his side to even have him out there testing it on grounders. If he wasn’t feeling good, they would not be doing this.
The hope has been that Swanson could return right around the end of the regular season, and I would say that still seems plausible as of today.
