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 starting at first base and batting sixth in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Wisdom was held out of the lineup for Tuesday's matinee, his third straight absence due to a finger strain, but he'll rejoin the starting nine for the nightcap. The 30-year-old has a .193/.288/.386 slash line with three home runs, eight RBI and a 34.8 percent strikeout rate through 17 games in August.

Wisdom (finger) remains out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Wisdom's strained left ring finger will keep him on the bench for a third consecutive game. The Cubs will deploy P.J. Higgins and Christopher Morel as their starters in the corner infield.

Wisdom (finger) isn't starting Monday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Wisdom is dealing with a finger strain and will be held out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but P.J. Higgins will start at first base and bat eighth.

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.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-7 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Wisdom connected in the fifth inning for his 22nd home run of the season. That total leads the Cubs, and the infielder is also pacing the team with 57 RBI. Wisdom had a breakout 2021 campaign with a career-high 28 long balls and 61 RBI, and he's now within distance of surpassing both figures if he has a strong finish this season.

Wisdom is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Wisdom will take a seat for the day game after a night game, paving the way for P.J. Higgins to draw a third consecutive start after he went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Nationals. Meanwhile, Wisdom went 0-for-4 on Wednesday, dropping his season average to .219. Even if Higgins gains more traction as an everyday player at first base for the Cubs, Wisdom would still likely have potential paths to steady at-bats at third base or designated hitter.
