Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said that Stephen Drew (ankle) could begin a minor league rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Reno. Drew has been playing in extended spring training games for over a week and was able to slide during a simulated drill Saturday for the first time since ankle surgery. There's no telling how the ankle will respond to game activity, so his rehab assignment figures to be a lengthy one, but this is obviously an encouraging sign. It would be wise to stash him on a DL spot if he's still available in your fantasy league.
