What happened: Dansby Swanson was involved in an injury delay during the top of the eighth inning, with the score 5-4. Play was paused while the situation was addressed on the field. A clear account of the nature of the delay was not immediately available in the advisory.

Why it matters: Any in-game delay involving an everyday infielder is worth tracking, since a forced removal can reshape a lineup for the rest of the night and the days that follow. The timing matters here: a one-run margin in the late innings magnifies the impact of any personnel change.

What to watch: Watch for confirmation of whether Swanson remains in the game or is replaced, along with any official word on the cause and severity of the delay.
