Goes deep in easy win Paredes went 2-for-5 with a walk, a home run, two additional runs scored and two total RBI in Monday's 18-8 win over the Pirates.

Impact Paredes helped pile on to the rout, launching his 19th home run of the season in the eighth inning. The 25-year-old has recorded three of those long balls in 24 games for the Cubs since coming over in a late July trade, and he's batting .161 for his new team. That's not exactly what fantasy managers had in mind, but Paredes should continue to see regular playing time, and he has the talent to turn things around in a hurry.

Sitting in series finale Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Paredes was withheld from the lineup last Sunday versus the Blue Jays due to shoulder discomfort, but he returned to start each of the Cubs' last five games while going 3-for-22 at the plate. The Cubs haven't suggested that he's still being nagged by the shoulder, so Paredes' absence for the series finale in Miami is likely just a maintenance day.

Back in action Tuesday Paredes (shoulder) will start at third base and bat fifth against the Tigers on Tuesday.

Impact Right shoulder discomfort caused Paredes to be scratched from Chicago's lineup ahead of Sunday's contest, though he was able to make a pinch hit appearance. After an extra day of rest Monday, the 25-year-old infielder now appears to be fine and will look to turn things around after going 0-for-12 across his last four games.

Scratched with shoulder issue Paredes was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Blue Jays due to right shoulder discomfort, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact It's unclear when Paredes suffered the injury, but he struggled over the past few games and went 0-for-11 with two strikeouts. The 25-year-old will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus Detroit. Patrick Wisdom has replaced Paredes at third base for Sunday's contest.

Goes deep again Friday Paredes went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.

Impact Paredes teed off for his second home run in his last three games and 18th of the season. The infielder got off to a bit of a slow start after getting traded to the Cubs at the end of the July, but in those last three contests, he's gone 4-for-11 with the two long balls and seven total RBI. Paredes was having a solid season in Tampa Bay before the trade, and if he can sustain his recent level of play, a big finish could be in store with his new team.

Powers team to win Tuesday Paredes went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Twins.

Impact Paredes connected for a three-run shot against Minnesota starter Pablo Lopez in the first inning, his first home run with the Cubs and 17th of the season. The 25-year-old had gotten off to a bit of a slow start with his new team, as he came into the night mired in a 3-for-27 slump over seven games since getting traded to Chicago. Paredes should continue to play regularly, however, and Tuesday's big effort could jump start a hot streak for the talented hitter.

Collects first hits with new team Paredes went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three runs scored in Wednesday's 13-4 win over the Reds.

Impact After going 0-for-4 in his Chicago debut Tuesday, Paredes got things going Wednesday. The former Cubs' prospect batted second, in between Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki. It's a good spot for sustained production, and after recording a career-best 31 home runs and 98 RBI a season ago, Paredes could be in line for a strong finish to the year with his new team.

Not ready for team debut Paredes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

Impact According to Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune, Paredes is en route to Cincinnati but has yet to officially join the Cubs after he was acquired from the Rays in a trade Sunday.
