Cubs’ Swanson headed to IL with oblique injury after early exit
Swanson left Sunday’s game with left-side discomfort after an awkward swing; the Cubs later announced an oblique injury that will place him on the Injured List for a multi-week absence, prompting defensive shifts (Hoerner to short, Ramirez to second) as James Triantos filled in, with MRI results expected to clarify the severity and timeline.
