Dansby Swanson Exits Early with Butt Cramp

Dansby Swanson hit a two-run double against college roommate Walker Buehler in the top of the second, then stole third. He remained in the game for the next two outs, but did not return to the field for the bottom of the inning. The Cubs clarified that he had suffered a left glute cramp, which is fitting because he had also been a pain in the Padres’ butt.

We’ll ass-ume this is just a minor issue and that Swanson will be just fine after eating a banana and getting a good stretch.
