## Resource

Cubs rally after Pirates series, eye Braves showdown — but first, Dansby Swanson’s rehab return looms. Out since August 17 with an oblique strain, Swanson starts Triple-A rehab Tuesday; if all goes well, he could rejoin the lineup by Friday against the Reds. A critical playoff push hinges on his return — the Cubs are tied for the top Wild Card spot, and Swanson’s elite defense and power (.216 AVG, 18 HR, 66 RBI) could be the difference-maker in October.
