Jonny DeLuca Begins Rehab Assignment
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jonny DeLuca (shoulder) has begun a rehab assignment with the Rays' Florida Complex League affiliate. The 26-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since early April with a shoulder strain. However, DeLuca suffered a setback, which pushed back his timeline. Earlier in May, DeLuca was cleared to begin hitting off a tee and has now recently joined the FCL to begin his rehab assignment. Given the time he missed, fantasy managers should expect DeLuca to spend at least a few weeks in the minor leagues before returning to action. Last season, DeLuca appeared in 107 games for the Rays and held .217/.278/.331 line with six home runs and 16 stolen bases. Before the injury, DeLuca held a .435 AVG across the first nine games of the season. When he does return to action, he should compete for time in center and right field.
