Kyle Blanks (Achilles) is likely to begin a rehab assignment early next week. It's possible he'll begin one over the weekend, but early next week is more likely. Blanks tested out his Achilles on Monday and experienced only minimal soreness. "The test isn't necessarily the day of, but it's the day after and the days following," Blanks said Tuesday. "Today I feel fine. I'm ready to get going again."
