## Resource

Dansby Swanson is set to return from oblique injury next weekend, poised to ignite the Cubs’ playoff push as they battle neck-and-neck with the Phillies for a Wild Card spot. The Gold Glove shortstop, slashing 18 homers and 66 RBIs before his absence, brings elite two-way impact — and his activation could shift the NL’s postseason race. With a crucial series against the Reds looming, Swanson’s comeback might not just secure Chicago a playoff berth, but a stronger seed and home-field advantage.
