Freddy Sanchez (shoulder) could begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Fresno as soon as next week. Sanchez was given a cortisone shot a little over a week ago to help speed his recovery from shoulder surgery. The biggest issue has been his throwing, so he'll likely a couple weeks of rehab games to get ready. Ryan Theriot and Emmanuel Burriss will split playing time at second base for now.
