• Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Drives in six runs Thursday

  16H ago •

  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. 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.

• Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Reaches twice in loss

  5D ago •

  Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals. 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.

  Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

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 for the season, putting him two ahead of Ian Happ for the team lead.

• Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Delivers offense Tuesday

  10D ago •

  Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Pirates. 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.

  12D ago •

  Wisdom is starting at third base and batting fifth in Sunday's game against Atlanta. Wisdom got his first off day in about a month Saturday, but he'll return to the hot corner Sunday. The 30-year-old has been a bit all or nothing this season, as he has 12 home runs but is also batting just .223 with a 35 percent strikeout rate.
