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

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

Cracks another home run Wisdom went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to the Reds.
Impact The home run, Wisdom's 21st of the season, put the Cubs up 2-0 in the top of the second inning, though Cincinnati rallied for four runs in the bottom of the inning. The Chicago third baseman leads the club with the 21 long balls, and his 54 RBI are also the most on the team. Wisdom isn't hitting for average, but he's delivering fantasy value due to his ability to drive the ball out of the park.

Reaches twice, steals base Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Reds in the Field of Dreams Game.
Impact Wisdom is more known for his power with a team-high 20 home runs following 28 home runs in 2021, but he's also now up to seven stolen bases, which is a new career best. The 30-year-old isn't likely to be an elite contributor in the category the rest of the season, but any steals he provides are an added bonus for fantasy managers who count on him for long balls.
