Austin Meadows Close To Rehab Assignment
6 years agoTampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that outfielder Austin Meadows (thumb) took batting practice off a high-velocity pitching machine on Saturday. He will work out with the team on Monday and Tuesday and could start a short rehab assignment after that. Barring setbacks, Meadows could make his return to the leadoff spot sometime next weekend. The 24-year-old had been one of the hottest bats in the majors before his injury, slashing .351/.422/.676 with six home runs, 19 RBI and three steals. He needs to be stashed in all formats. His return will be bad news for Avisail Garcia.
