Milwaukee Brewers right-handed reliever Trevor Megill (back) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Wisconsin on Thursday.

Detroit Tigers rookie catcher Dillon Dingler and outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy are both out of the starting lineup again on Wednesday against the visiting Seattle Mariners at Comerica Park.
