Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 7-1 win over the Padres on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom welcomed San Diego reliever Miguel Diaz to the game with his sixth inning two-run home run to extend Chicago's lead to 5-0. The long ball has become a regular occurrence for the late-blooming third baseman, who know has eight on the season and four in his past four games. Even when he cools off, look for Wisdom to remain in the lineup as Chicago is 9-5 in the 14 games Wisdom has appeared since being recalled on May 25.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom has been on some kind of roll since getting recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 25, as he now has seven home runs in just 13 games. To put that in perspective, the 29-year-old came into the year with just four career MLB home runs in 43 games. Wisdom will cool down at some point, but he's worth a look from fantasy managers while he's playing regularly and performing this well.

Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Saturday in a loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom capitalized on an inning-opening error in the second frame, crushing a 418-foot shot to center to give Chicago a 2-0 lead. He struck out in his other two at-bats, highlighting the all-or-nothing nature of his plate appearances this season. Wisdom has maintained a .400 average despite striking out 11 times in 30 at-bats, and five of his 12 hits have left the yard.

Wisdom isn't starting Thursday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom had started each of the last four games and went 7-for-15 with three home runs, four RBI and five strikeouts during that time. Sergio Alcantara will start at third base and bat seventh.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom is certainly making the most out of his time in the majors, as he now has four home runs and and a 1.658 OPS though eight games with the Cubs. The 29-year-old got the call when Matt Duffy (back) hit the injured list, but Wisdom could force the team to keep him around even when everyone is healthy if he keeps hitting like this.

Wisdom went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom totally stuffed the stat sheet Monday, starting with a single and a stolen base in the second inning. He then launched solo homers in the fourth and sixth innings. Since being recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 25, he's gone 7-for-15 with three homers and four runs scored.

Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a strikeout in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom hit his first home run of the season in the fourth inning after he had a hit by pitch call reversed via replay earlier in the at-bat. The 29-year-old has now gone 2-for-5 while serving mainly as a pinch hitter across his last three games with the major-league club.

The Cubs recalled Wisdom from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
The first and third baseman has struggled to the tune of a .160 average in 25 minor-league at-bats this season; however, three of his four hits have been homers. Wisdom will provide much-needed infield depth while Matt Duffy (back) spends time on the injured list.

Wisdom re-signed Jan. 5 with the Cubs on a minor-league contract, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom initially joined Chicago on a minor-league deal in late August and ended up appearing in two games for the big club during the final week of the regular season. The 29-year-old didn't impress enough to maintain his spot on the 40-man roster entering the offseason, but he'll get the chance to battle for a bench role on the Cubs' Opening Day roster during spring training. He'll likely be assigned to Triple-A Iowa to begin the 2021 season if he comes up short in his bid for a job with the big club.

The Cubs outrighted Wisdom to their alternate training site Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom went unclaimed off waivers after being designated for assignment last weekend, so he'll stick around in the Cubs' organization for now. Assuming Wisdom joins the Cubs for spring training, he'll realistically be competing for a roster spot at Triple-A Iowa rather than with the big club.
