## Resource

Dansby Swanson is set to return from his oblique injury next weekend after a rehab stint with the Iowa Cubs, offering a timely boost to Chicago’s Wild Card race against the Phillies. Despite a modest batting average this season, Swanson brings elite defense and 18 home runs, making him crucial as the Cubs look to rebound from a sweep by Milwaukee and face the Pirates in a pivotal three-game series. His comeback could be a game-changer for their playoff push. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
