Swanson goes back to roots, switches to No. 7
- Updated: December 22, 2016
ATLANTA — There’s a strong possibility Dansby Swanson will fill the second spot in the Braves’ lineup when the 2017 season begins. But the young shortstop will no longer be wearing the No. 2 jersey that he was given after making his Major League debut this year.
Swanson tweeted that he will be switching back to the No. 7 jersey that he donned during his brief Minor League stint and throughout his heralded career at Vanderbilt University. Major League Baseball approved this anticipated switch earlier this week.
