Wisdom (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
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. He isn't starting Saturday against the Giants but will be available off the bench and should serve as the Cubs' primary first baseman now that he's back to full health.

Wisdom (finger) will take batting practice on the field ahead of Thursday's game against the Reds, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.
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.

Wisdom (finger) took swings in the batting cage Wednesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list, but he may need at least a few more days of workouts and potentially a minor-league rehab assignment before the Cubs are comfortable bringing him back. While Wisdom is on the shelf, the Cubs are likely to lean on a platoon of Alfonso Rivas and P.J. Higgins at first base.

Wisdom was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left ring finger sprain Saturday, retroactive to Aug. 26, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom missed three games with a finger sprain early last week and didn't play Friday against the Brewers. He's apparently dealing with his injury once again and will be unavailable for at least a week and a half. P.J. Higgins and Alfonso Rivas should see plenty of playing time at first base while Wisdom is sidelined.

Wisdom will sit Friday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom recently missed three straight games with a finger strain, and while he returned for the nightcap of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, he's gone just 1-for-10 at the plate in his last three games. P.J. Higgins will get the start at first base.

Wisdom (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers and is considered day-to-day, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom appeared to jam his left ring finger while sliding into home during Saturday's win, but X-rays returned negative and he's been diagnosed with a strain. P.J. Higgins will take over for Wisdom at first base Sunday and will hit eighth.

Wisdom hurt his left ring finger when sliding into home during Saturday's game against the Brewers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisdom suffered the injury when Victor Caratini tagged him out, though he never formally exited the game because the Cubs won the game in the same frame. Wisdom will get X-rays and more information will be available Sunday. P.J. Higgins would likely be the beneficiary if Wisdom is forced to miss time.
