Goes deep Sunday Wisdom went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Red Sox.
Impact Wisdom's solo home run, his 17th of the season, tied the game at 2-2 in the eighth inning, but Boston scored twice in the top of the 11th to get the win. The 17 long balls are the most on the team, with Willson Contreras second with 13 home runs. Wisdom is hitting only .232 this season, but his power production is giving him fantasy value.

Records steal in win Wisdom went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Wisdom has four steals this season, and half of them have come in the last three games. He scored the opening run in the second inning Saturday and knocked in the Cubs' third and final run in the eighth for an all-around productive showing. The 30-year-old is up to a .233/.319/.470 slash line with 16 home runs, 44 RBI and 42 runs scored through 301 plate appearances. Wisdom has a 34.6 percent strikeout rate this year, though he's partially offset it with a 10.0 percent walk rate that's allowed him to get on base steadily.

Drives in six runs Thursday Wisdom went 3-for-6 with a pair of home runs, six RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 15-7 rout of the Reds.
Impact Wisdom had a good start to the contest, notching an RBI and a stolen base in the first inning. Things got much better for the big third baseman, as he swatted a grand slam in the second frame and a solo homer in the sixth en route to a career-high six RBI. Wisdom entered the contest with just three homers and 11 RBI through 25 games in June, so his big game padded those stats considerably on the final day of the month. He leads Chicago with 16 homers and 43 RBI on the season.

Reaches twice in loss Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Wisdom didn't go deep, though he still managed to have a decent game. The walk is encouraging, but he also struck out twice, and he's now sitting with a 34.8 percent strikeout rate for the season. That will continue to limit Wisdom's ability to consistently reach base, so he's typically dependent on home runs to fuel his fantasy value. The third baseman does at least lead the team with 14 long balls this year.

Homers again Wednesday Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.
Impact Wisdom also struck out twice, displaying his all-or-nothing approach, but fantasy managers won't complain too much. The third baseman now has home runs in his last two games, giving him a team-high 14 for the season. Wisdom's four RBI also pushed him to 36 this year, putting him two ahead of Ian Happ's 34 RBI for the team lead.

Delivers offense Tuesday Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Pirates.
Impact The Cubs had just six hits as a team and fell 7-1, but Wisdom still delivered a nice stat line. His .222 batting average leaves plenty to be desired in that category, but the third baseman does now lead the squad with 13 home runs, one ahead of Willson Contreras. Wisdom is also second on the team with 32 RBI, so he's provided his share of fantasy value despite not being a great contact hitter.
