Jason Bartlett (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Fort Myers this week. Bartlett will work out with the Gulf Coast League Twins for a few days before officially beginning the rehab assignment. He could remain on the assignment for a while, as the Twins want him to work on his swing. "I need it," said Bartlett. "I felt good coming out of spring and, obviously, when you sit there [on the bench] you lose it. I feel good in the cage, but it's a matter of seeing something. I'm excited to get back out there and start playing every day and see if I can come back up here and help the team."
