Chicago Cubs’ Dansby Swanson waves to the crowd before batting against his former team the Atlanta Braves in the second inning of a baseball game, Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2023, in Atlanta.

ATLANTA — Dansby Swanson pulled up instead of running into the tag at second, and the Braves had to turn their attention to Cody Bellinger, who was leading off third. The throw gave Swanson the chance to trot into second, and Bellinger returned to third safely.

In a 0-for-4 night at the plate for Swanson, the play hinted at his familiarity with the team in the opposing dugout.
