Cubs fans are frustrated as Dansby Swanson’s slump drags on, hitting just .167 with five hits in 12 games, yet manager Craig Counsell keeps him in the lineup—moving him up to sixth spot despite the struggles. Swanson’s $25M salary makes his turnaround critical, but the offense as a whole is in freefall, with 17 losses in 22 games and just four hits in a recent game. Counsell even pinch-hit for Swanson, bringing in Moises Ballesteros, who’s also struggling. Meanwhile, pitcher Javier Assad sits in Triple-A Iowa on standby, and utility man Matt Shaw’s rehab assignment may take time as he recovers from a back injury. The Cubs are scrambling to find footing as they try to turn things around.
