Nova (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Tampa on Monday, The Westchester Journal News reports. Nova has been pitching in extended spring training games, but he's now ready to begin the final process in his recovery from Tommy John surgery over 13 months ago. The 30-day rehab clock will begin once he makes his first appearance Monday, so Nova seems set to rejoin the big league team either toward the end of June or beginning of July.
