Houston Astros pitcher Bryan Abreu (calf) began a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday in Triple-A. He has been sidelined since late May due to a lingering calf injury.

He was swinging the bat well on Wednesday too, so it sounds like Dahl is getting close to a return. He has been sidelined since late May due to a back and ribs issue.

It's likely that Plesac begins a rehab assignment shortly […]
