What happened: Chicago infielders Sami Williams and Dansby Swanson teamed up with Dexter Fowler to share infield defense tips geared toward softball players. The segment airs on MLB Network's Play Ball at 3 p.m. ET.

Why it matters: The appearance puts two Cubs infielders in front of the next generation of players during the heart of the 2026 season, extending the league's youth-outreach programming. It also keeps the same Dansby Swanson who launched a grand slam among five homers in 24 hours earlier this week in the spotlight off the field as well as on it.

What to watch: Play Ball airs Saturday at 3 p.m. ET on MLB Network, with Williams, Swanson and Fowler featured in the defensive-instruction segment.
