Paredes leads Cubs against the Reds after 4-hit game

The Chicago Cubs take on the Cincinnati Reds after Isaac Paredes' four-hit game on Wednesday

Collects four hits, stolen base Paredes went 4-for-5 with a run scored in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Phillies. He also stole a base.

Impact Paredes collected his first four-hit game of the season along with his first stolen base. The 25-year-old isn't known for his speed, as he now has just two career MLB steals, but he is also only one long ball shy of reaching the 20-homer plateau for the third straight year. Heading into 2025, Paredes should continue to derive much of his fantasy value from his ability to hit with power.

Castellanos homers as the Phillies beat the Cubs 9-6 and clinch first-round bye in playoffs

Doubles, scores in loss Paredes went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Phillies.

Impact Paredes snapped an 0-for-13 slump that stretched across his last five games with the two hits on Monday. The 25-year-old has shown flashes of promise since joining the Cubs via trade in late July, but his performance overall has been disappointing. In 47 games with Chicago, Paredes is batting just .216 with a .634 OPS. He had a .792 OPS in 101 games with Tampa Bay before the trade.

Good to go Sunday Paredes (wrist) will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Paredes missed out on starts in the last two games due to a left wrist contusion, but he'll be good to go for the series finale. The third baseman carries a .281/.371/.298 slash line for the month heading into Sunday's contest.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with bruised wrist Paredes was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Nationals due to a left wrist contusion, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact Paredes was hit in the left hand/wrist during Thursday's contest and also sat down Friday, though this is the first time the Cubs have specified his absence as injury-related. He'll take another day to recover, meanwhile Luis Vazquez will enter the lineup to start at third base and bat ninth.

Sitting out Friday Paredes is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Paredes was spiked on the left hand in the third inning of Thursday's win over the Nationals. He stayed in and finished the game, but it's possible he's feeling the after effects and that's why he's absent from Friday's lineup. Patrick Wisdom is filling in at third base for the Cubs.

Tallies three more hits Monday Paredes went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 9-2 win over the Athletics.

Impact For the second time in his last four games, Paredes recorded three hits. The infielder is batting a robust .483 over his last eight contests, and it looks like he's settling in with the Cubs after struggling initially following the trade that brought him to Chicago in July. Paredes has become a key cog in his new team's offensive attack lately.

Tallies three hits in loss Paredes went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Rockies.

Impact All three hits were singles but Paredes will take all the base knocks he can get after starting slowly with his new team. The infielder is heating up lately, however, as he's now riding a five-game hitting streak. During the stretch, Paredes is batting a sizzling .529 with a 1.134 OPS. It looks like the 25-year-old is turning a corner in a Chicago uniform and could be primed for a big final few weeks of the regular season.

Lifts offense in return Paredes went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Yankees.

Impact After getting a breather Saturday, Paredes returned on Sunday and keyed the offense with a two-RBI single in the first inning, which was enough for the win in the pitchers' duel. Paredes is still scuffling a bit, however, as he's batting just .207 over his last 10 games and is hitting .167 in 35 games overall with the Cubs since coming over in a trade. Despite the struggles, the 25-year-old should remain locked into an everyday role.

Drives in three Sunday Paredes went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's 14-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact Paredes collected two of the team's 18 hits in the easy victory. The infielder has been struggling overall with his new team, batting just .184 with a .608 OPS across 29 games in Chicago, though he is riding a four-game hitting streak during which he's gone 5-for-12. Paredes will continue to see regular playing time as he looks to build up further momentum with the Cubs.
