Blasts fifth home run Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the White Sox.

Impact Wisdom is trying his best to prove his 2021 breakout wasn't a fluke, as he's now up to five home runs this season. The 30-year-old surprisingly popped 28 long balls across 106 games last year after coming into the season with just four career MLB home runs. At his current pace, Wisdom could surpass his 2021 total, especially if he ends up playing more games in 2022.

Hits key home run Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Brewers.

Impact Marcus Stroman and Corbin Burnes were locked in a scoreless pitchers' duel through four innings, but Wisdom got the Cubs on the board with a solo shot against Burnes in the top of the fifth. The third baseman now has four home runs across 21 games this season. Wisdom had 28 long balls in 106 games during a breakout 2021 campaign, and he looks to be on his way to another good season in the power department.

Hits clutch home run Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over Atlanta.

Impact Wisdom picked a great time for his first hit of the game, hitting a two-run home run in the top of the 10th inning to put the Cubs up 6-3. The third baseman is only batting .236, though he does have a strong .808 OPS and three long balls across 17 games. Jonathan Villar will continue to get playing time across the diamond, but Wisdom should continue to see regular starts while he's producing at the plate.

Recaptures everyday role Wisdom will start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact After sitting against Atlanta lefty Max Fried in Tuesday's series opener, Jonathan Villar is on the bench again Wednesday with the opposition bringing a right-hander (Charlie Morton) to the hill. Meanwhile, Wisdom has picked up starts at third base in both of those contests, and he's now been included in the lineup six straight games overall. After appearing to lose hold of an everyday role last week, Wisdom has seemingly leapfrogged Villar on the depth chart now that his bat is beginning to warm up. Over his last 10 games, Wisdom is slashing .367/.457/.733 with seven extra-base knocks.

Still getting solid playing time Wisdom will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Though Jonathan Villar has seemingly leapfrogged Wisdom in the pecking order at third base, both players' ability to bounce around between multiple positions should help them occupy near full-time roles. Wisdom will make his fourth straight Sunday -- with three coming at the hot corner -- while Villar fills in at shortstop for a resting Nico Hoerner. Wisdom is coming off one of his best games of the season Saturday, when he went 1-for-4 with two walks, two runs and an RBI in the Cubs' 21-0 win.

Homers in loss Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rays.

Impact Wisdom entered as a pinch-hitter for Jason Heyward in the bottom of the fourth inning, immediately taking Josh Fleming deep for his second long ball of the 2022 campaign, scoring Frank Schwindel in the process. After starting the season 1-for-21 from the plate, the 30-year-old has put together a nice five-game hitting streak, batting .533 with seven extra-base hits and seven RBIs over those contests.
