Wisdom's contract was selected by the Cubs on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wisdom will give the Cubs an extra bench bat for the final series of the season, though there's little reason to believe he'll be a particularly strong one. The 29-year-old has made just 86 career major-league plate appearances, posting a .224/.306/.408 slash line. Jose Martinez was optioned in a corresponding move.
