Wisdom isn't starting Wednesday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom went just 1-for-8 with five strikeouts across the last two games, and he'll get a breather for the series finale. Matt Duffy will take over at the hot corner and bat fourth.

Wisdom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom will take a seat for the series finale after he started each of the past three games at a different position (first base, third base and left field). Expect him to rotate among all three spots over the final month and a half of the season, though he should retain a near-everyday role while he continues to supply power. Wisdom owns an .870 OPS over 230 plate appearances on the campaign.

Wisdom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
After going a collective 3-for-6 with a home run, a double and two walks between both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader, Wisdom will get a well-deserved breather Wednesday. Matt Duffy checks in for Wisdom at the hot corner.

Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Brewers in Game 2 of the doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom homered off John Curtiss in the fourth inning, giving the Cubs a one-run lead. He added a walk and a double that scored Matt Duffy. The 29-year-old was hitless in his last four games prior to the doubleheader Tuesday. He is slashing .267/.335/.564 with 17 home runs, 35 RBI, 35 runs and three steals in 215 plate appearances this season.

Wisdom is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The stretch run for the Cubs will be all about auditioning players to see who deserves to be part of the club's future. Wisdom has made a strong case for himself in his 62 games already this season, homering 16 times while slashing .272/.335/.572, though his 37.9 percent strikeout rate casts doubt on the sustainability of that line. He looks set to continue featuring frequently over the final two months following the team's deadline-day moves, though it will be Frank Schwindel and Matt Duffy who start at the infield corners Friday.

Wisdom went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom carried the Cubs to victory, and the 29-year-old is now up to 32 RBI and a .927 OPS through 61 games. He's been a pleasant surprise for Chicago and should continue to see regular playing time, especially with Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo no longer in town. Wisdom deserves fantasy attention given his production and relatively secure role.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom keeps building on his breakout campaign, as he's now up to 16 home runs, 27 RBI and 30 runs scored through 56 games, to go along with a strong .940 OPS. With the Cubs trading Anthony Rizzo Thursday and potentially making a few more moves before Friday's deadline, Wisdom should see all the playing time he can handle the rest of the way.

Wisdom hit a pinch-hit home run in his only at-bat during Tuesday's loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Even without being in the starting lineup, Wisdom was able to impact Tuesday's game with a ninth-inning home run, though it wasn't enough to rally the Cubs. The 29-year-old has been a revelation for Chicago with 15 home runs and a .924 OPS this season. By comparison, he came into the year with four career home runs and a .696 OPS across 43 MLB games. Wisdom should remain in the lineup for the Cubs most days based on his strong performance.

Wisdom is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman went 1-for-2 with a trio of walks and a run Monday. Since the All-Star break, Wisdom has gone 7-for-33 with two home runs, six walks and seven runs while striking out 18 times. Kris Bryant will play third base Tuesday, with Ian Happ getting the start in left field.

Wisdom is out of the lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom started the past five contests but will head to the bench while mired in a 1-for-12 mini slump since recording a three-hit game Monday. Matt Duffy (back) was activated from the injured list Friday and will start at the hot corner.
