Will require rehab assignment Rodgers (hamstring) will be going on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to being activated from the 10-day injured list, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact After some speculation on if it was needed or not, Rodgers said Tuesday that he will require a rehab assignment after all. The 27-year-old has been on the injured list since June 8 while recovering from a left hamstring strain and he'll likely play in multiple contests with Albuquerque prior to being activated.

Impact Rodgers resumed baseball activities a few days ago and it appears he's continued to progress without issue. He's eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, and while there's no indication he'll return on that date, it doesn't appear to have been ruled out. Adael Amador has been filling in for Rodgers at second base but is likely to be sent back to Double-A Hartford once Rodgers is ready.
