Manager Tony La Russa said Tuesday that he hopes Anderson (groin) will be able to begin a rehab assignment next week, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson landed on the 10-day injured list May 31 and had an initial return timetable of approximately three weeks. The 28-year-old seems to be on track in his recovery, as he'd have time to appear in several rehab games next week if he's ultimately cleared to report to a minor-league affiliate. Danny Mendick and Leury Garcia should continue to see additional playing time at shortstop until Anderson returns from the injured list.
