He also said the need to recharge is real. “It’s not anything we’ve really decided on yet,” he said, adding he would discuss it in New York. Swanson, who sat out after suffering a left heel bruise Wednesday when he landed awkwardly on first base on a double-play grounder, didn’t know if he could play in New York this weekend or whether he also would opt out of the All-Star Game or attend the festivities.
