Wisdom went 3-for-6 with a pair of home runs, six RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 15-7 rout of the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom had a good start to the contest, notching an RBI and a stolen base in the first inning. Things got much better for the big third baseman, as he swatted a grand slam in the second frame and a solo homer in the sixth en route to a career-high six RBI. Wisdom entered the contest with just three homers and 11 RBI through 25 games in June, so his big game padded those stats considerably on the final day of the month. He leads Chicago with 16 homers and 43 RBI on the season.

Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom didn't go deep, though he still managed to have a decent game. The walk is encouraging, but he also struck out twice, and he's now sitting with a 34.8 percent strikeout rate for the season. That will continue to limit Wisdom's ability to consistently reach base, so he's typically dependent on home runs to fuel his fantasy value. The third baseman does at least lead the team with 14 long balls this year.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom also struck out twice, displaying his all-or-nothing approach, but fantasy managers won't complain too much. The third baseman now has home runs in his last two games, giving him a team-high 14 for the season. Wisdom's four RBI also pushed him to 36 this year, putting him two ahead of Ian Happ's 34 RBI for the team lead.

Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The Cubs had just six hits as a team and fell 7-1, but Wisdom still delivered a nice stat line. His .222 batting average leaves plenty to be desired in that category, but the third baseman does now lead the squad with 13 home runs, one ahead of Willson Contreras. Wisdom is also second on the team with 32 RBI, so he's provided his share of fantasy value despite not being a great contact hitter.

Wisdom is starting at third base and batting fifth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom got his first off day in about a month Saturday, but he'll return to the hot corner Sunday. The 30-year-old has been a bit all or nothing this season, as he has 12 home runs but is also batting just .223 with a 35 percent strikeout rate.

Wisdom isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom started every game over the last month but will get a breather after he went 4-for-16 with a walk and five strikeouts over the last five games. Jonathan Villar is starting at third base while Andrelton Simmons starts at the keystone.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom was a bright spot in a 14-5 loss, launching a three-run home run in the first inning, then driving home another run on a single in the seventh. The third baseman is up to 12 home runs and 31 RBI through 49 games. He has a decent chance of surpassing his career highs of 28 homers and 61 RBI, both of which he recorded during his breakout 2021 campaign.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The home run isn't much of a surprise, as Wisdom now has 11 this season through 46 games. However, the stolen base was just the second of the year for the third baseman, though they've both come in the past week. Speed isn't likely to become a huge part of Wisdom's game anytime soon, but even modest contributions there help to enhance his overall fantasy profile.

Wisdom went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Despite not going deep for the first time in five contests, Wisdom still had a good night at the plate and on the bases. His stolen base in the second inning was his first of the season. Wisdom had just four steals in five attempts last year, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much more in that category. They should expect more home runs, however, as Wisdom leads the team with 10 long balls across 39 games so far.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
That's now four straight games with home runs for Wisdom and 10 total long balls on the season across 38 contests. He continues to be an all-or-nothing type player, as he also struck out two more times Monday, giving him 58 so far in 132 at-bats. Fantasy managers may have to simply accept a low batting average with Wisdom, though he now has 38 homers in 144 games with the Cubs dating back to last year, so he's certainly delivered plenty of value as well.
