Dansby Swanson (SS, ATL) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 19% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson may never live up to the hype he generated as a rookie a couple years ago, but he has been swinging the bat well lately. Over the past four weeks, the Braves’ shortstop has batted .293/.358/.573 with six homers and four stolen bases.

He has also managed respectable run production despite hitting almost exclusively out of the eighth spot in the lineup. Atlanta is looking for its first division title since 2005, and Swanson’s surge has helped them open up a three-game lead in the NL East. Maybe Swanson is more of a MI than a starting SS in deeper leagues, but he is still worthy of an addition.
