For the second time in his last four games, Paredes recorded three hits.

Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Tallies three hits in loss
Rotowire
Paredes went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Rockies.
All three hits were singles but Paredes will take all the base knocks he can get after starting slowly with his new team. The infielder is heating up lately, however, as he's now riding a five-game hitting streak. During the stretch, Paredes is batting a sizzling .529 with a 1.134 OPS. It looks like the 25-year-old is turning a corner in a Chicago uniform and could be primed for a big final few weeks of the regular season.
Paredes went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Yankees.
After getting a breather Saturday, Paredes returned on Sunday and keyed the offense with a two-RBI single in the first inning, which was enough for the win in the pitchers' duel. Paredes is still scuffling a bit, however, as he's batting just .207 over his last 10 games and is hitting .167 in 35 games overall with the Cubs since coming over in a trade. Despite the struggles, the 25-year-old should remain locked into an everyday role.

Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Getting breather Saturday
Rotowire
Paredes isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.
After going 0-for-13 with six strikeouts over his last four games, Paredes will get a chance to regroup while Patrick Wisdom covers third base, batting eighth.
Paredes went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's 14-1 win over the Nationals.
Paredes collected two of the team's 18 hits in the easy victory. The infielder has been struggling overall with his new team, batting just .184 with a .608 OPS across 29 games in Chicago, though he is riding a four-game hitting streak during which he's gone 5-for-12. Paredes will continue to see regular playing time as he looks to build up further momentum with the Cubs.
Paredes went 2-for-5 with a walk, a home run, two additional runs scored and two total RBI in Monday's 18-8 win over the Pirates.
Paredes helped pile on to the rout, launching his 19th home run of the season in the eighth inning. The 25-year-old has recorded three of those long balls in 24 games for the Cubs since coming over in a late July trade, and he's batting .161 for his new team. That's not exactly what fantasy managers had in mind, but Paredes should continue to see regular playing time, and he has the talent to turn things around in a hurry.

Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Sitting in series finale
Rotowire
Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Paredes was withheld from the lineup last Sunday versus the Blue Jays due to shoulder discomfort, but he returned to start each of Chicago's' last five games while going 3-for-22 at the plate. The Cubs haven't suggested that he's still being nagged by the shoulder, so Paredes' absence for the series finale in Miami is likely just a maintenance day.
Paredes (shoulder) will start at third base and bat fifth against the Tigers on Tuesday.
Right shoulder discomfort caused Paredes to be scratched from Chicago's lineup ahead of Sunday's contest, though he was able to make a pinch-hit appearance. After an extra day of rest Monday, the 25-year-old infielder now appears to be fine and will look to turn things around after going 0-for-12 across his last four games.
