Flexes power once again Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in a 7-0 win over the White Sox on Saturday.

Impact Wisdom took AL Cy Young candidate Lance Lynn deep in the fourth and fifth innings. It was the second straight two-homer game for the slugger, making him the first rookie in Cubs history to accomplish that feat, per Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network. Wisdom has gone deep nine times in his past 16 contests and is up to 25 homers in 251 at-bats overall this season. He needs one more long ball to tie Kris Bryant's team rookie record set in 2015.

Launches pair of homers Wisdom went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk, four RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 17-13 loss to the White Sox.

Impact On his 30th birthday, the third baseman rewarded himself with a pair of homers. Wisdom has gone yard five times in his last seven games. This is the second noticeable power binge for the third baseman, who is up to 23 long balls, 48 RBI, 44 runs scored and three stolen bases through 270 plate appearances. He's added a solid .255/.319/.563 slash line in a surprising breakout season.

Blasts big homer Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Game 1 of a doubleheader versus Colorado on Wednesday. He scored two runs and drew a walk while going 0-for-4 in the nightcap.

Impact Wisdom struck out four times overall in the twin bill, but his three run shot in the fifth inning of Game 1 provided the winning margin in the Cubs' victory. The 29-year-old is in the midst of a breakout campaign, slashing .251/.313/.539 with 21 homers and 44 RBI over 79 games. His massive 39.2 percent strikeout rate is certainly problematic, but Wisdom has at least provided a jolt of power for a team that parted ways with three of its biggest bats in separate trades.

Slugs homer No. 20 Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Royals.

Impact He broke up Kris Bubic's no-hit and shutout bids with one swing of the bat in the seventh inning. Wisdom has gone yard in back-to-back games to give him 20 homers on the season, but for the most part he's struggled to make contact in August, batting .203 (13-for-64) with a 3:29 BB:K through 18 games.

Impact Wisdom returned to the lineup Friday after Wednesday's day off, and he put the Cubs on the board with his solo homer in the second inning. The 29-year-old now has 19 home runs in 2021 but has been in a slump recently, as he's hit just .167 with two homers, three RBI and 14 strikeouts across the last eight games.
