Cubs Shortstop Dansby Swanson Will Miss About a Month with Left Oblique Strain
The Cubs also promoted Kevin Alcantara and Owen Miller after Swanson’s oblique strain and Cabrera’s hand blister left the roster short on depth.
- On Monday, the Chicago Cubs placed shortstop Dansby Swanson on the 10-day injured list and pitcher Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list, while recalling pitcher Javier Assad from Triple-A Iowa.
- Swanson suffered a left oblique strain during Sunday's loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, while Cabrera's recurring right middle finger blister flared up after he surrendered seven earned runs in 3.2 innings.
- To address the vacancies, manager Craig Counsell announced second baseman Nico Hoerner will shift to shortstop, with infielder Pedro Ramirez taking over second base. The Cubs promoted outfielder Kevin Alcantara and selected infielder Owen Miller.
- Counsell expects Swanson to miss approximately four weeks, forcing the team to navigate the upcoming schedule with depth additions. The organization hopes to get his services back before the playoffs.
- Despite the injuries, the Cubs hold a 72-53 record and sit 5.0 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central while maintaining the top Wild Card spot.
