The Cubs announced Saturday morning that shortstop Dansby Swanson underwent surgery on a core injury in early October. They do not expect him to miss time as a result of the surgery.
Swanson owned a .242 batting average this year, with a .701 OPS — his lowest since 2018 — which may have been affected by several factors. Wrigley Field was notoriously pitcher-friendly this past season, but Swanson also battled a knee injury early in the season.
