The Chicago Cubs positioned shortstop Dansby Swanson on the 10-day injured listing previous to Friday night time’s recreation towards the Pittsburgh Pirates and activated outfielder Seiya Suzuki off the identical listing.
Swanson, 30, sprained his proper knee earlier this week, and the transfer was retroactive to Wednesday. Suzuki had been sidelined with a proper indirect pressure.
Swanson is batting simply .209 with 4 homers and 12 RBIs in 37 video games this season. He’s in his second season with the Cubs after spending seven seasons with the Atlanta Braves.
A two-time All-Star, Swanson has a .252 profession common with 128 homers and 503 RBIs in 1,011 video games.
“At this level within the 12 months, grinding via 4 and a half months of this simply does not make sense,” Cubs supervisor Craig Counsell mentioned of Swanson. “So the hope is that with a bit of break right here, he can have this behind him and never have or not it’s a difficulty for the remainder of the season.”
Suzuki, 29, went on the injured listing April 15. He’s batting .305 with three homers and 13 RBIs in 15 video games this season.
Now in his third season in Chicago, Suzuki has a .277 common with 37 homers and 133 RBIs in 264 video games.
