Paredes isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds. Paredes will catch a breather Saturday after going 6-for-16 with an RBI and two runs scored across his last four games. Patrick Wisdom will pick up a start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Paredes went 4-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Phillies. Paredes collected his first four-hit game of the season along with his first stolen base. The 25-year-old isn't known for his speed, as he now has just two career MLB steals, but he is only one long ball shy of reaching the 20-homer plateau for the third straight year. Heading into 2025, Paredes should continue to derive much of his fantasy value from his ability to hit with power.

Paredes went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Phillies. Paredes snapped an 0-for-13 slump that stretched across his last five games with the two hits Monday. The 25-year-old has shown flashes of promise since joining the Cubs via trade in late July, but his performance overall has been disappointing. In 47 games with Chicago, Paredes is batting just .216 with a .634 OPS. He had a .792 OPS in 101 games with Tampa Bay before the trade.

Paredes (wrist) will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Nationals. Paredes missed out on starts in the last two games due to a left wrist contusion, but he'll be good to go for the series finale. The third baseman carries a .281/.371/.298 slash line for the month heading into Sunday's contest.

Paredes was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Nationals due to a left wrist contusion, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. Paredes was hit in the left hand/wrist during Thursday's contest and also sat down Friday, though this is the first time the Cubs have specified his absence as injury-related. He'll take another day to recover while Luis Vazquez enters the lineup at third base, batting ninth.
