Resting against lefty Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Wong made his return from a stint on the injured list due to a calf issue in Tuesday's 5-3 win, starting at second base while going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs. He should serve as Milwaukee's primary option at the keystone moving forward, though the lefty-hitting Wong will occasionally take a seat against left-handed starting pitchers. With southpaw Jalen Beeks on the hill for Tampa Bay in a day game after a night game, manager Craig Counsell decided it was a good opportunity to rest Wong.

Takes part in agility work Wong (calf) was spotted Thursday taking part in agility drills in the outfield, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact The activity is another minor step forward for Wong, who was seen swinging a bat in the cage earlier this week but has yet to advance to on-field batting practice or running the bases since landing on the injured list June 11 with a right calf strain. Wong is without a clear timeline for a return and is unlikely to make it back from the IL before the end of the month.
