Chicago Cubs infielder Patrick Wisdom (groin) was a late scratch from Monday's Cactus League matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The right-hander slugger is dealing with left groin soreness, so the organization decided to take the cautious approach here. It wouldn't be surprising to see Wisdom miss a few games because of this issue. The 31-year-old is expected to be the Opening Day starter at third base for the Cubs. He struggled throughout most of the 2022 season. However, Wisdom did blast 25 home runs, so he's worth grabbing in fantasy drafts if you need a power bat.

Chicago Cubs corner infielder Patrick Wisdom (finger) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 31-year-old slugger missed a few weeks with a ring finger sprain on his left hand but he should be good to go for the remainder of the regular season. Wisdom owns a subpar .217/.311/.438 batting line but does have 22 home runs, 58 RBI, and seven stolen bases over 411 at-bats on the year. Second baseman Nick Madrigal (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom (finger) took batting practice on the field ahead of Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since August 25 with a left ring finger sprain. He is eligible to come off the injured list, but it's unclear if Wisdom will require a rehab assignment before rejoining the lineup. Wisdom is slashing .217/.311/.438 with 22 home runs, 58 RBI, 60 runs, and seven stolen bases over 471 plate appearances in 117 games in 2022. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Wisdom in all league formats.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom (finger) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. Wisdom will miss his third straight game due to a strained left ring finger, but he remains day-to-day and could return in the nightcap for Game 2. The 30-year-old is hitting just .219 with a .314 on-base percentage, but he also has a useful 22 home runs, 58 RBI, 59 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 114 games. Wisdom leads baseball with his 154 strikeouts. Rookie Christopher Morel is starting at third base and hitting ninth in Game 1 against Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright. Morel hasn't been bad in his first MLB season, but he's gone 6-for-30 (.200) with two home runs, three RBI and four runs in 10 games over the last two weeks.

X-rays came back negative on Chicago Cubs third baseman/first baseman Patrick Wisdom (finger) and he was diagnosed with a strained ring finger. He's day-to-day for now. Wisdom injured his finger while sliding into home plate in the win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. The 30-year-old will not be in the starting lineup on Sunday against Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff. P.J. Higgins will get the start at the cold corner and is hitting eighth against Woodruff. Higgins will be a low-upside DFS play for Sunday's slate. He's hitting .259/.328/.483 with an .811 OPS, six home runs, 20 RBI and 17 runs scored in 116 at-bats for the Cubbies in 2022.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom (finger) hurt his left ring finger when sliding into home during Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. In Saturday's win, he went 1-for-4 with an RBI double, a walk, and one run before injuring his finger in the bottom of the 11th inning. The 30-year-old sustained the finger at the end of the game. He will undergo x-rays after the game to determine the severity of his injury. The Cubs slugger is slashing .219/.314/.444 with 22 home runs, 58 RBI, 59 runs, and seven stolen bases in 114 games in 2022. If Wisdom is forced to miss any time, PJ Higgins and Zack McKinstry would see an uptick in at-bats.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom went deep Friday, blasting his 19th home run of the season in a 2-for-3 effort at the plate with a double, a walk, and two runs scored. He has now gone deep in two straight games after a stretch that saw him without a round-tripper since July 2. Wisdom has been a steady contributor for fantasy managers all year, with a .781 OPS, 51 runs, 50 RBI, and six steals in 380 plate appearances.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom was forced from Saturday's second game of a doubleheader with an ankle injury after his at-bat in the seventh inning. He fouled a ball of his ankle in the first game of the twin bill, but stayed in the lineup for the remainder of the day until favoring his ankle on a foul ball in his final at-bat. X-rays have come up negative, so he should be considered day-to-day until we hear more from the club on Sunday. Wisdom is hitting .226 with five homers and 15 RBI on the year and should continue to provide solid fantasy production in 2022 if this injury remains minor.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom struggled to get the bat on the ball, striking out three times and failing to reach base in four at-bats during Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the crosstown Chicago White Sox. He now sports an inflated 40.2% strikeout rate. Strikeouts have always been an issue for the 30-year-old, so he never has and probably never will help fantasy managers in the batting average category. Thus far, he's hitting .230 with 14 RBI and 13 runs. However, he offers a powerful bat for fantasy managers who can deal with a batting average that low. In 2021 he hit 28 HRs, and he has four long-balls this year over 22 games.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom is not in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The former first round pick has been off to a slow start with one hit in his nine plate appearances this season. The Cubs will give him the day off to rest and recover. Jonathan Villar will cover third base and bat third versus right-hander Freddy Peralta. This will be his first appearance with the Cubs after joining the team this offseason. The switch-hitting infielder should be a trustworthy option off the bench for Chicago. He could have sneaky streaming appeal in the middle of the order for Sunday's matchup.

The Chicago Cubs placed third baseman Patrick Wisdom on the injured list on Wednesday. No reason was given by the club for his move to the injured list, which could suggest it is related to COVID-19. Infielder Trent Giambrone was called up from Triple-A to fill his roster spot. Wisdom could still return before the end of the regular season if his move to the injured list was indeed COVID-19 related. The slugger has struggled at the plate this month, slashing .150/.261/.325 with three home runs, 11 RBI and eight runs. Exactly half of his 80 at-bats in September have gone for strikeouts.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom (wrist) was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals due to wrist soreness. Matt Duffy went on to draw the start at third base in his place. There hasn't been any indication of how severe Wisdom's injury is yet. He should be considered day-to-day. The Cubs are off on Monday before beginning a three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Wisdom has struggled at the plate this month, slashing .150/.261/.325 with three home runs, 11 RBI and eight runs scored.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom will take a seat on the bench for Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Matt Duffy will place in the lineup against the tough righty starter Logan Webb. It's a routine off day for Wisdom, who has broken out with 25 homers in 295 at-bats this season. He's slashed just .083/.214/.125 without a long ball over his last seven games, so fantasy managers will be hoping this breather gets him back on track. He should be back in the lineup early in the coming week.

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Patrick Wisdom stayed hot in Saturday's victory versus the Chicago White Sox. Coming off of a two-home run performance on Friday, Wisdom followed that up by going 2-for-4 with two solo home runs. Wisdom has really been showing his power this weekend and continues to have a strong season for the Cubs. He is now hitting .259 with 24 home runs and 50 RBI. Wisdom has been swinging a hot bat and is worth rostering in all formats at the moment.

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Patrick Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a walk and two home runs in Friday's loss versus the Chicago White Sox. Wisdom got the Cubs on the board when he crushed a three-run homer off of Dallas Keuchel as part of a six-run top of the first inning. He then crushed a solo home run off of Craig Kimbrel in the top of the ninth inning. Wisdom continues to be one of the lone bright spots in the Cubs lineup and has shown plenty of power this season. The slugger is now hitting .255 with 23 home runs and 48 RBI. He makes for a solid source of power in mixed leagues.

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Patrick Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Colorado Rockies. Wisdom sent a rocket to left field off of Austin Gomber in the bottom of the fifth inning and it would end up being the game winning hit for the Cubs. Wisdom has been showing plenty of power this season and has come out of nowhere to hit .255 with 21 home runs and 44 RBI. Wisdom is unlikely to see a lot of RBI opportunities with the Cubs having one of the weakest lineups in the league, but managers seeking power should consider Wisdom.

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Patrick Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss versus the Kansas City Royals. Wisdom provided the Cubs with their only offense of the afternoon when he launched his 20th home run of the season off of Kris Bubic in the bottom of the seventh inning. Wisdom has now homered in two straight games and is beginning to warm up again. One of the waiver wire surprises of this season, Wisdom is now hitting .253 with 20 home runs and 40 RBI. Wisdom is worth a look for managers seeking power.

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Patrick Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss versus the Kansas City Royals. Wisdom put the Cubs on the board early with his rocket to left field against Brad Keller, but the lead would only last a couple of innings. Wisdom has shown plenty of power this season, but he has struggled lately with just four hits over his last 25 at-bats. Wisdom is still an option for managers looking for power in deeper leagues, but his RBI opportunities could be limited with him playing in one of the worst offenses in the league. For the season, Wisdom is now hitting .253 with 19 home runs and 38 RBI.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom is absent from the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Tyler Mahle and the Cincinnati Reds. Matt Duffy is manning third base in the game and hitting cleanup. Wisdom has really struggled at the plate so far in August. Over 15 games this month, he's slashing .200/.241/.345 with two home runs, eight RBI and five runs. He's struck out 26 times this month while walking just three times. While Wisdom has some clear power upside (18 homers over 73 games on the year), he provides little else of value. He can be left on waivers in just about all fantasy leagues.

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Patrick Wisdom went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's blowout loss versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Wisdom was part of back-to-back home runs with Frank Schwindel in the bottom of the seventh inning off of Daniel Norris. Wisdom has been one of the success stories of this year's waiver wire pickups and is one of the lone bright spots left in the Cubs lineup. Wisdom will lose some protection with catcher Willson Contreras (knee) landing on the 10-day injured list, but he should still offer plenty of power. Wisdom is now hitting .265 with 18 home runs and 36 RBI. Wisdom is worth rostering in most formats.
