Jason Bartlett (ankle) is set to begin a rehab assignment on Thursday with High-A Fort Myers. Bartlett has been on the shelf since April 7 with a sprained left ankle. The Twins are expected to leave him on his minor league rehab assignment for a couple of weeks so that he can work on his swing. Bartlett batted just .093 with a .245 OPS during spring training.
