2 years agoChicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom (finger) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. Wisdom will miss his third straight game due to a strained left ring finger, but he remains day-to-day and could return in the nightcap for Game 2. The 30-year-old is hitting just .219 with a .314 on-base percentage, but he also has a useful 22 home runs, 58 RBI, 59 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 114 games. Wisdom leads baseball with his 154 strikeouts. Rookie Christopher Morel is starting at third base and hitting ninth in Game 1 against Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright. Morel hasn't been bad in his first MLB season, but he's gone 6-for-30 (.200) with two home runs, three RBI and four runs in 10 games over the last two weeks.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
