Chicago Cubs third baseman Isaac Paredes is not in the starting nine on Saturday afternoon as the Cubs continue a three-game set with the Cincinnati Reds. Paredes has started in each of the past five games and will take a day off. As a result, Patrick Wisdom will cover the hot corner and bat in the eight-hole. Since the start of September, the former Ray has begun to heat up at the plate with a strong .289/.374/.316 line. Since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline, Paredes has carried a .223/.324/.309 slash line. Wisdom will face Cincinnati's top pitching prospect, Rhett Lowder, this afternoon, who has held a strong 1.40 ERA.
Chicago Cubs third baseman Isaac Paredes (wrist) was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a left wrist contusion, according to Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. The 25-year-old was scheduled to return to the Cubs lineup after sitting out on Friday afternoon but will need at least another day to rest. As a result, Luis Vazquez will cover the hot corner and bat in the nine-hole. Since joining the Northside at the trade deadline, Paredes has held an underwhelming .212/.317/.301 line with just three home runs and five doubles across a 45-game stint. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Paredes' status before Sunday's game. If the former Tampa Bay Ray remains sidelined, Vazquez and Patrick Wisdom should see an uptick in opportunities. Vazquez will face Washington southpaw MacKenzie Gore this afternoon and should be faded in all DFS formats.
Chicago Cubs third baseman Isaac Paredes (hand) will retreat to the bench for Friday's game at Wrigley Field against the visiting Washington Nationals in the second game of the series. Patrick Wisdom will draw the start at third base for the Cubbies and will hit eighth in the batting order versus Nationals right-hander Trevor Williams. Although the injury doesn't appear serious, Paredes had his left hand spiked in Thursday's victory over Washington, and it's possible the team is giving him the day off on Friday because of that. He has struggled with the Cubs since being acquired at the trade deadline from the Tampa Bay Rays, as he's hit just .212 (33-for-156) with three homers, 23 RBI and 32 strikeouts in 45 games since the trade. Wisdom is a low-upside sleeper in DFS in the eight-hole on Friday. He has faced Williams six times in his career and has yet to pick up a hit.
Chicago Cubs third baseman Isaac Paredes and catcher Miguel Amaya are not in the starting nine on Saturday afternoon as the Cubs continue a three-game set against the New York Yankees. The third baseman is in the midst of a rough 2-for-17 slide since the start of the month, while Amaya has tallied just one hit since September 1. As a result, Patrick Wisdom will cover the hot corner and bat in the eight-hole, and Christian Bethancourt will be behind the dish batting ninth. Fantasy managers should expect Paredes and Amaya to return to the starting nine tomorrow as they are scheduled to face Yankee ace, Gerrit Cole. Both Wisdom and Bethancourt could be sneaky plays in DFS this afternoon as they will face Clarke Schmidt who will be making his return to the mound after not pitching since May due to a strained lat.
Chicago Cubs third baseman Isaac Paredes (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This is good news for both fantasy managers and the Cubbies after Paredes missed Sunday's game due to right shoulder discomfort. He was able to pinch-hit during that contest, so it appears to be a minor issue. He'll cover third base and bat fifth versus right-hander Alex Faedo on Tuesday. Paredes has been quiet to the tune of a .153 batting average with two homers and eight RBI since being traded to Chicago. The 25-year-old has a solid track record, so hopefully it's only a minor slump.
