According to MLB.com's Corey Brock, Huston Street (lat) could be sent on his minor league rehab assignment ''as soon as next week.'' Street, who's been on the disabled list since May 5, took another step forward in his rehabilitation Saturday, and has been able to increase both his throwing and distance. Street is expected to throw a bullpen session in the ''coming days,'' and could be cleared for rehab appearances shortly thereafter.
