- Craig Counsell not sitting Dansby Swanson just yet, but it’s under consideration for Cubs’ slumping shortstop
Cubs manager Craig Counsell is considering benching slumping shortstop Dansby Swanson, who has a batting average below .200, but has not done so yet. Swanson's struggles are part of broader offensive issues for the Cubs, which have lost 17 of their last 22 games. Counsell previously sat struggling veteran Ian Happ, who later improved after rest.
