Two-time Gold Glove shortstop Dansby Swanson has been held out of the Chicago Cubs’ starting lineup against the San Francisco Giants because of his ongoing struggles at the plate. The 32-year-old Swanson entered batting .180, third-worst among regular players in the majors. Over his last 14 games, the two-time All-Star has only six hits in 46 at-bats for a .130 average. Manager Craig Counsell says it is time for Swanson to re-set. Swanson has made only four errors in 60 games this season for a .983 fielding percentage.
