Juan Uribe (abdomen) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment in about one week. Uribe landed on the disabled list at the end of July with a lower abdominal strain. He's expected to ramp up his workouts this week before gaining clearance to begin playing in minor league games in about seven days. The 32-year-old is batting just .204/.264/.293 through 77 games this season.
