Wisdom went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The home run, Wisdom's 21st of the season, put the Cubs up 2-0 in the top of the second inning, though Cincinnati rallied for four runs in the bottom of the inning. The Chicago third baseman leads the club with the 21 long balls, and his 54 RBI are also the most on the team. Wisdom isn't hitting for average, but he's delivering fantasy value due to his ability to drive the ball out of the park.

Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Reds in the Field of Dreams Game.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom is more known for his power with a team-high 20 home runs following 28 home runs in 2021, but he's also now up to seven stolen bases, which is a new career best. The 30-year-old isn't likely to be an elite contributor in the category the rest of the season, but any steals he provides are an added bonus for fantasy managers who count on him for long balls.

Wisdom is not in the lineup Saturday against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom's three strikeouts in Friday's series opener raised his strikeout rate on the season to 33.4 percent, but he's shown enough power to overcome his contact issues. Thanks to a 15.3 percent barrel rate, he owns a .222/.318/.452 slash line, good for a 114 wRC+. Zach McKinstry starts at third base in his absence.

Wisdom went 1-for-5 with two walks, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom did most of his damage in the second game, when he launched his 20th home run of the season and scored twice. The 30-year-old has now reached the 20-homer plateau in consecutive seasons after coming into last year with just four career long balls at the MLB level. He hit 28 home runs in 2021 and has a decent chance to surpass that in 2022 if he stays healthy.

Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom opened the scoring with a solo shot in the fifth inning, and he added another run in the ninth after hitting a ground rule double. This was the third baseman's first multi-hit effort since July 5, and he's homered in consecutive games. For the season, he's slashing .226/.321/.460 with 19 long balls, 50 RBI, 51 runs scored, six stolen bases and a career-high 22 doubles in 95 contests.

Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The Cubs didn't record a hit until the seventh inning, and Wisdom followed that up with a two-run homer off Giants starter Alex Wood. Wisdom's hit safely in six of his last eight games, but he's gone 6-for-27 (.222) in that span with no multi-hit efforts. The third baseman is slashing .222/.317/.446 with 18 homers, 49 RBI, 49 runs scored and six stolen bases in 94 contests this year.

Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom has six stolen bases this year, and four of them have come in his last 10 games. The 30-year-old isn't much of a speedster -- the most steals he's had in a year was 13 between Triple-A Memphis and the Cardinals in 2018. Still, it's an added bonus for his fantasy managers. Wisdom's added 17 home runs, 45 RBI, 46 runs scored and 17 doubles despite a .231 batting average through 81 contests as a near-everyday presence in the Cubs' lineup this year.

Wisdom went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom's solo home run, his 17th of the season, tied the game at 2-2 in the eighth inning, but Boston scored twice in the top of the 11th to get the win. The 17 long balls are the most on the team, with Willson Contreras second with 13 home runs. Wisdom is only hitting .232 this season, but his power production is giving him fantasy value.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom has four steals this season, and half of them have come in the last three games. He scored the opening run in the second inning Saturday and knocked in the Cubs' third and final run in the eighth for an all-around productive showing. The 30-year-old is up to a .233/.319/.470 slash line with 16 home runs, 44 RBI and 42 runs scored through 301 plate appearances. Wisdom has a 34.6 percent strikeout rate this year, though he's partially offset it with a 10.0 percent walk rate that's allowed him to get on base steadily.
