Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

Wisdom also struck out twice, a reminder of his feast-or-famine profile, but fantasy managers won't complain too much. The third baseman now has home runs in his last two games, giving him a team-high 14 for the season. Wisdom's four RBI also pushed him to 36 for the season, putting him two ahead of Ian Happ for the team lead.

Urias (oblique) resumed baseball activities Wednesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Urias has been sidelined with a left oblique strain since June 11, and he made slow progress in his recovery during his first few days on the IL. However, he's trending in the right direction now that he's participating in baseball activities once again. The 28-year-old will need to ramp up his workload before he's activated, so it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action.

Candelario isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Boston.
