Dansby Swanson Oblique & Bullpen | Fantasy Baseball First Cup August 18
Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson is set to miss four to six weeks after suffering a Grade 2 left oblique strain. Corey Pieper breaks down a major wave of high-profile roster moves, returning star hitters, the daily Bullpen Report, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The health and transaction wire was active across the league as Dansby Swanson lands on the injured list with a multi-week oblique injury, Max Fried and Edward Cabrera hit the injured list, Ketel Marte was placed on the restricted list, and Jacob Wilson manages shoulder soreness. Conversely, fantasy rosters receive significant reinforcements as Oneil Cruz returns from the 60-day injured list, Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia return to the Royals' lineup, Shane McClanahan is activated with Joe Boyle optioned, and pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson earns his Major League debut. On the diamond, standout efforts in the studs column feature Jordan Walker, Eugenio Suarez, Cristopher Sanchez, Brayan Bello, Adley Rutschman going 2-for-5, Nolan McLean dueling Walker Buehler, Shohei Ohtani, Blake Snell, Nico Hoerner, and power-speed performances from Bobby Witt and Pete Crow-Armstrong, who each homered and stole a base. On the other hand, Brandon Young facing Shane McClanahan, Andre Pallante, Jordan Lawlar going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, Mitch Bratt, Zack Littell, Tomoyuki Sugano, and Mason Barnett all landed in the duds section. The daily Bullpen Report analyzes high-leverage late-inning situations around the league, examining Grant Taylor, Sean Newcomb, and Bryan Hudson in the White Sox bullpen, Sammy Natera and Ben Joyce in Anaheim, Yoendry Gomez holding down duties in Minnesota, Jacob Webb for the Cubs, Kodai Senga closing in New York, and Mason Montgomery stepping over Luke Weaver in Pittsburgh.
