MAY 8, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Steals base as pinch runner Wisdom entered as a pinch runner in the ninth. He wound up walking in his only plate appearance and stole a base.

Impact Wisdom ran for Eric Hosmer in the ninth after the later drove in a run to tie the game at 2-2. Wisdom was able to steal second but was stranded there. The 33-year-old should find himself back in the lineup Monday against the Cardinals having not started the past two games. After a hot start to the year, Wisdom is now slashing just .154/.298/.308 with two homers, three RBI, 5 runs and an 8:21 BB:K over his last 13 games. He is still tied for second in baseball with 11 homers but his recent struggles have led to less playing time.

Not starting again Sunday Wisdom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Heads to bench Wisdom will sit Saturday against the Marlins.

Impact Wisdom has earned a near-everyday role this season, starting 29 of the Cubs' first 33 games. With 11 homers and an .899 OPS, he should continue to feature regularly, though his 36.9 percent strikeout rate remains worryingly high. After striking out seven times across his last two games, he'll sit in favor of Nick Madrigal.

Cubs' Patrick Wisdom slams his 10th homer this season to trim the Marlins' lead

MAY 4, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Keeps power surge going Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Nationals.

Impact Wisdom also struck out twice and left five runners on base, but fantasy managers are most interested in the long ball, which was his 11th of the season. That's tied for the MLB lead with Max Muncy and Pete Alonso, and the 31-year-old could be on his way to surpassing his career high of 28 home runs, which he hit back in 2021.

Clubs 10th homer Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Wisdom broke out of a slump Saturday, driving Trey Mancini in on a 418-foot, two-run homer in the second inning and reaching base safely three times after going 1-for-15 (.067) in his last five appearances. After hitting his 10th long ball, Wisdom trails only Max Muncy (11) for the league lead in home runs while slashing .250/.327/.659 through 24 games.

Blasts two homers Wisdom went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Monday's win over Oakland.

Impact Wisdom put the Cubs on the board with his solo shot in the second inning followed by a three-run blast in the eighth. The slugger has gone deep eight times and is currently riding a four-game home run streak. During that stretch, he boosted his season OPS from .892 to 1.139 through 57 plate appearances.

Blasts sixth home run Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

Impact Wisdom has now homered in three straight games, giving him six long balls on the season. After going deep a total of 53 times the last two years, he looks poised to reach the 20-homer plateau again in 2023. At this rate, Wisdom could definitely reach 30 home runs for the first time in his career. He doesn't offer a ton outside the power, but fantasy managers should welcome his recent production.

Wisdom, Bellinger HRs lift Cubs to 3-2 win over Dodgers

Patrick Wisdom homered for the third straight game, Cody Bellinger also went deep and the Chicago Cubs defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2

APRIL 16, 2023 • Associated Press

Goes deep again Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Wisdom broke a scoreless tie with his 415-foot solo shot to center field in the fifth inning, and that stood as the decisive run until Los Angeles broke through with a pair of runs in the bottom of the ninth. The long ball was the fifth of the campaign for Wisdom, tops on his team and tied for fifth-most in the league. The third baseman hit 53 home runs between 2022 and 2023, and he's shown so far this season that he can be a factor in fantasy for teams in need of power.

APRIL 16, 2023 • Associated Press

Hits fourth home run Wisdom went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Dodgers.

Impact Wisdom's solo shot, his fourth of the year, was one of five Chicago long balls in the 8-2 win. The 31-year-old is off to a good start in the power department, though he's batting only .231. Wisdom batted just .207 last season while hitting 25 home runs, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect a great batting average moving forward.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Clubs third home run Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Rangers.

Impact Wisdom now has three home runs through six games to go with an outstanding 1.226 OPS. The Cubs started Nick Madrigal at third base Saturday, but Wisdom has been able to play in the outfield frequently in the early going, so the playing time has been there even when he's not at the hot corner. He should remain a fantasy factor as long as he's in the lineup most days.
