Kendrick (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendrick has been taking swings over the past couple weeks as he slowly works his way back to regular baseball activities and finally appears ready for a return to game action. The 33-year-old has been out since mid-April with the injury and has only played in 10 games this season, so expect a bit of rust as he comes back. Kendrick will likely assume a super-utility role upon his return to the lineup.
