Kazmir will make his first appearance of the season in a rehab start Monday for High-A Rancho Cucamonga, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kazmir was reportedly hitting the low-90s with his fastball in previous sessions, which is what gave the team enough confidence to send him into game action. He will likely require a full 20-day rehab assignment before he is fully stretched out and ready to return to the majors, but there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel for the injury prone veteran. Expect Kazmir back soon after the All-Star break barring a setback.
