Swanson singled in a run in the first and delivered a solo shot off Tyler Megill in the fourth. It was his eighth homer of the year, putting him on pace to smash his 2024 total of 16 homers in 149 games. His .240 average and 48/13 K/BB ratio are mediocre, but as long as the power numbers hold up, he’s at least a fringy option in mixed leagues.

Some were disappointed to find out Horton wasn’t starting today, but the bulk role definitely helped his chance of getting a win. He took over for Brad Keller with the Cubs up 2-0 in the second and pitched through the fifth before leaving with a 4-3 lead. He struck out five and walked none along the way, and all of the damage came on Brett Baty’s homer in the fourth. Horton should stick for now and face the White Sox as either a starter or a bulk guy next weekend. He’ll be worth playing in mixed leagues then.

The Cubs didn’t use Ryan Pressly tonight after he threw 19 pitches in a scoreless inning Friday. It’s quite possible Hodge is taking over as the Cubs’ closer, but we’re guessing Pressly will get a chance to hold on to the job if he can avoid any missteps over the next week or two. Hodge is definitely worth rostering at the moment.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters that the benching is precautionary, so there’s a good chance this will only be a game or two absence for the 30-year-old. Seiya Suzuki will be the left fielder, and Pete Crow-Armstrong is leading off with Happ out.

After two days off for maintenance, Seager came out and hit a 403-foot homer off Jack Flaherty in his first at-bat tonight. He later added a 393-foot shot off Tyler Holton in the seventh. The load management is annoying, but it might pay off in the end if Seager can play in 130 games this year for the first time since 2022.

Holliday has looked the part as of late, and is hitting .384/.417/.682 in his six games in the month of May. Meanwhile, Cedric Mullins has gone just 1-for-26 over his last few contests, so he’ll be bumped down to sixth against the Halos on Saturday. Holliday is an intriguing fantasy option hitting lower because of his skill set, but there’s a lot more to like if he can hit at the top of this lineup.

Seager is back at shortstop and batting third on Saturday after sitting out two consecutive games. There’s been zero indication that the veteran shortstop is dealing with any lingering physical issues and it’s an encouraging sign that he’s back in the lineup. He’s hitting .333 (20-for-60) with three homers over his last 15 games.
