Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom popped his second home run of the month and 12th of the season in the third inning. The 31-year-old came into the game mired in a 7-for-40 slump, so when he's not hitting long balls, he can be tough to stomach in fantasy leagues. Wisdom is now batting .237 with a .941 OPS and should continue to be a boom-or-bust option moving forward.

Wisdom is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom still has terrific overall numbers, but he has fallen into a 7-for-40 (.175) slump in the last couple of weeks. Nick Madrigal will play third base Tuesday versus St. Louis. Christopher Morel is at second.

Wisdom entered as a pinch runner in the ninth inning of Sunday's loss to the Cubs in 14 innings. He wound up walking in his only plate appearance and stole a base.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom ran for Eric Hosmer in the ninth after the latter drove in a run to tie the game at 2-2. Wisdom was able to steal second but was stranded there. The 33-year-old should find himself back in the lineup Monday against the Cardinals having not started the past two games. After a hot start to the year, Wisdom is now slashing just .154/.298/.308 with two homers, three RBI, five runs and an 8:21 BB:K over his last 13 games. He is still tied for second in baseball with 11 homers, but his recent struggles have led to less playing time.

Wisdom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom has a .590 OPS over his past 12 contests and will take a seat for the second straight game. Nick Madrigal went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run during Saturday's game and will start at third base again Sunday.

Wisdom will sit Saturday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom has earned a near-everyday role this season, starting 29 of the Cubs' first 33 games. With 11 homers and an .899 OPS, he should continue to feature regularly, though his 36.9 percent strikeout rate remains worryingly high. After striking out seven times across his last two games, he'll sit in favor of Nick Madrigal.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom also struck out twice and left five runners on base, but fantasy managers are most interested in the long ball, which was his 11th of the season. That's tied for the MLB lead with Max Muncy and Pete Alonso, and the 31-year-old could be on his way to surpassing his career high of 28 home runs, which he hit back in 2021.

Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom broke out of a slump Saturday, driving Trey Mancini in on a 418-foot, two-run homer in the second inning and reaching base safely three times after going 1-for-15 (.067) in his last five appearances. After hitting his 10th long ball, Wisdom trails only Max Muncy (11) for the league lead in home runs while slashing .250/.327/.659 through 24 games.

Wisdom went 2-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 13-0 rout of the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
He crushed a Jake Reed offering to left field in the fifth inning, kicking off a seven-run frame for the Cubs. The homer was Wisdom's sixth in the last eight games and his ninth of the season, moving him into a tie with Pete Alonso for the major-league lead, and the 31-year-old also has 18 RBI through 18 contests.

Wisdom went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Monday's win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom put the Cubs on the board with his solo shot in the second inning followed by a three-run blast in the eighth. The slugger has gone deep eight times and is currently riding a four-game home run streak. During that stretch, he boosted his season OPS from .892 to 1.139 through 57 plate appearances.
