Kevin Smith Could Begin Rehab Assignment This Week
3 years agoOakland Athletics third baseman Kevin Smith (ankle) could be sent out on a minor league rehab assignment this week. The 25-year-old has been out for about a week due to a bone bruise in his left ankle. He engaged in some baseball activities this past weekend such as fielding ground balls and taking some swings in the batting cage. He is first eligible to come off the injured list on April 30, but it's unclear at this point if he'll be ready when first eligible. Smith was struggling at the plate prior to landing on the injured list. Over 11 games this year, he's slashed .161/.212/.226 with two extra-base hits, both doubles.
