Wisdom, who entered the game when Kris Bryant (hand) left in the first inning, went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant took a pitch off his right hand in his first plate appearance and left the game, though X-rays later came back negative and he was diagnosed with a contusion. Wisdom has been a pleasant surprise for the Cubs and could see an uptick in playing time if Bryant misses a few games to nurse his injury, but it doesn't seem like a serious issue, so the former should remain in a reserve role moving forward.

Wisdom went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old continues to demonstrate that the power he showed in the minors can play in the majors as well. Wisdom has gone yard nine times in 20 games since being called up in late May, although his overall .333/.390/.870 slash line is unsustainable, considering his 35.6 percent strikeout rate and .375 BABIP.

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 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.
