Officially placed on 10-day IL The Cubs placed Swanson (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Swanson is facing a 4-to-6 week recovery timeline due to a Grade 2 left oblique strain that he suffered during the Cubs' 11-4 loss to the Cardinals. It's possible that Swanson is back with the team during the last week of the regular season, though he may not be cleared to return to major-league action until the postseason, if the Cubs qualify. The Cubs selected Owen Miller's contract from Triple-A Iowa to provide infield depth, but Nico Hoerner figures to be Chicago's everyday shortstop for as long as Swanson is on the shelf.

Facing 4-to-6-week recovery timeline Swanson was diagnosed Monday with a Grade 2 left oblique strain, which typically carries a recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Cubs are expected to officially place Swanson on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the White Sox after he was forced out of Sunday's 11-4 loss to the Cardinals with the injury. Assuming the projected recovery timeline holds, Swanson won't be available until around mid-September in a best-case scenario, though the Cubs are hopeful that he'll be back to full health in advance of the playoffs. While Swanson is out, Nico Hoerner is expected to settle in as the Cubs' everyday shortstop, and Pedro Ramirez could operate as the primary option at second base until Matt Shaw (hand) is ready to come off the IL.

The severity of the oblique injury is currently unknown, and Swanson will undergo an MRI on Monday. The 32-year-old is likely looking at a lengthy absence, and in his absence, Nico Hoerner will likely slide over to shortstop for the time being.

Cubs' Alex Bregman continues second-half surge with first career 3-homer game

Strong effort in win Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two additional runs scored and two total RBI in Wednesday's 12-6 win over the Nationals.

Impact While Swanson was overshadowed by Alex Bregman, who exploded for a career-best three home runs and seven RBI, the veteran shortstop still put together a strong fantasy performance. His batting average has been lagging all season, though he's been able to offset that to some degree with 18 home runs and 16 stolen bases through 116 games. Swanson may frustrate on a day-to-day basis due to his low batting average, but he's still capable of posting big stat lines, and he's closing in on his second straight 20-20 campaign.
