EDGE Analysis

Wisdom got the scoring started Sunday with a three-run, two-out homer in the fifth. In the seventh, he was hit by a pitch, stole a base and scored. He's now 8-for-12 in stolen base attempts on the season and has been successful in six of his last seven attempts. While he is just 4-for-32 at the plate in September, three of his hits have left the park.

Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Widom knocked his 24th home run of the year in the second inning against Bryse Wilson. The 31-year-old has two homers in his last three games after hitting just two in his previous 22 appearances.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Wisdom took Jesus Luzardo deep for a solo shot in the top of the seventh inning, scoring the first run for the Cubs in the contest. The 31-year-old is now up to 23 long balls on the season and Wednesday's homer was his first since Aug. 19. On the season, Wisdom has produced a .211 average with 23 homers, 60 RBI, 61 runs and seven stolen bases over 432 at-bats in 123 games.

Wisdom, who had still been bothered by a finger injury since being activated from the injured list Sept. 10, will start in right field and bat sixth Wednesday against the Marlins, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury may at least partially explain why Wisdom had been on the bench for four of the Cubs' past five games, but his inclusion in the lineup Wednesday suggests the finger issue isn't enough of a concern to result in a return trip to the IL. In any case, Wisdom's usage in right field rather than at his typical home at either corner-infield spot could suggest that the Cubs plan to deploy him as more of a utility player over the final weeks of the season. Wisdom has trimmed his strikeout rate more than seven points from 2021 (from 40.9 percent to 33.5 percent), but a big drop in isolated power (.287 to .213) has made him less valuable from both a real-life and fantasy perspective.

Wisdom isn't starting Monday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Wisdom has gone just 1-for-17 with an RBI and six strikeouts over five games since returning from the injured list last weekend, and he'll retreat to the bench for the third time in the last four games. P.J. Higgins is starting at first base and batting fifth. Wisdom's ongoing struggles could result in him moving into a bench role over the final two weeks of the season.

Wisdom is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Wisdom took batting practice ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Reds and has been cleared to rejoin the Cubs without a rehab assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Wisdom took swings in the batting cage Wednesday and will face live pitching a day later. The 31-year-old is eligible to return from the injured list as soon as he's deemed fully healthy, but it's not yet clear whether he'll require a brief rehab assignment prior to returning to game action in the majors.
