Patrick Wisdom injury update

---

No Wisdom is not good.

Chicago Cubs infielder Patrick Wisdom continues to deal with back tightness that might keep him out of the season's start.

He was scratched from tonight's lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell gave the latest update to the media on Tuesday in the pre-game.

“Not really sure what’s going to happen next. But obviously, it’s concerning that we had to stop today," Counsell said.

Wisdom has not played in a game since last Wednesday.

In 2023, Wisdom hit .205 with 23 homers and 46 RBIs.

Look for newcomer Garrett Cooper to make the roster as a DH type since Wisdom's availability is uncertain.
