Locke (shoulder) is expected to participate in a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter sometime in the near future, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw has already thrown in simulated games at extended spring training and could return soon after his tune-up game from shoulder tendinitis that has dogged him since early in spring training. Locke would return to long relief duty with an opportunity at starts should a spot open up for the Marlins' rotation.
