Swanson lost his arbitration case Tuesday and will earn $6 million this season, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Swanson had filed at $6.7 million. The shortstop produced an above-average batting line last season (hitting .274/.345/.464) for the first time since his 38-game debut back in 2016, adding 10 homers and five steals, but it evidently wasn't enough to win the case.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win over the Marlins in Game 2 of the NLDS. Swanson homered in the second inning off Pablo Lopez. The 26-year-old broke open the game for Atlanta, carrying over some of the momentum from his impressive .274/.345/.464 regular-season line.

The 26-year-old Swanson has racked up three homers, eight RBI and four runs scored in his last five games. He has 10 long balls, five stolen bases, 35 RBI and 49 runs scored through 59 contests this season.
