Remains day-to-day Wisdom's X-ray on his left ring finger returned negative, and he remains day-to-day, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact Wisdom appeared to jam his hand while sliding into home during Saturday's win over the Brewers and has been diagnosed with a strain. He remains out of the lineup Sunday, with P.J. Higgins taking over at first base and hitting eighth.

Suffers finger injury Wisdom hurt his left ring finger when sliding into home during Saturday's game against the Brewers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wisdom suffered the injury when Victor Caratini tagged him out, though he never formally exited the game because the Cubs won the game in the same frame. Wisdom will get X-rays and more information will be available Sunday. P.J. Higgins would likely be the beneficiary if Wisdom is forced to miss time.

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. Wisdom had a breakout 2021 campaign with a career-high 28 long balls and 61 RBI, and he's now within distance of surpassing both figures if he has a strong finish this season.

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.

Resting Saturday Wisdom is not in the lineup Saturday against Miami.

Impact Wisdom's three strikeouts in Friday's series opener raised his strikeout rate on the season to 33.4 percent, but he's shown enough power to overcome his contact issues. Thanks to a 15.3 percent barrel rate, he owns a .222/.318/.452 slash line, good for a 114 wRC+. Zach McKinstry starts at third base in his absence.

Reaches 20 home runs Wisdom went 1-for-5 with two walks, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Impact Wisdom did most of his damage in the second game, when he launched his 20th home run of the season and scored twice. The 30-year-old has now reached the 20-homer plateau in consecutive seasons after coming into last year with just four career long balls at the MLB level. He hit 28 home runs in 2021 and has a decent chance to surpass that in 2022 if he stays healthy.
