Shane Victorino: Rehab Assignment Drawing Near

Victorino (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment later this week, the Boston Globe's Pete Abraham reports.

Analysis:

No specific date was mentioned, but it was previously reported that Victorino could start his rehab assignment as soon as Tuesday. While it's unclear whether Tuesday is still in play, fantasy owners at least have confirmation that the outfielder will start his assignment within the next few days. Victorino could make his season debut before the end of this upcoming weekend.
