Cubs first baseman Patrick Wisdom takes fielding practice. MESA, Ariz. — Cubs corner infielder Patrick Wisdom’s right quad just didn’t “feel right” while running. He said he pushed through the discomfort for several days, playing hard on the field but then spending extra time in the training room trying to get it loosened up.
“I was trying to work it out, and it just was still just hanging on,” he said.
Nothing was working, so it was time to give rest a try. Last Thursday, the Cubs scratched Wisdom from the lineup, and he hasn’t appeared in a game since. His timeline remains up in the air.
