Yankees' Luke Voit (oblique) begins rehab assignment

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (oblique) has begun his rehab assignment.

What It Means:

Voit went 1-for-3 with an RBI double Sunday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in his first rehab game. He also played five innings at first base in what was Voit's first live game since suffering an oblique strain last month. The 30-year-old is expected back with the Yankees by the end of the week. D.J. LeMahieu has been making most of the starts at first base without Voit available.

Voit is 8-for-44 (.182) with 15 strikeouts and averaging 6.2 FanDuel points per game this season. His xSLG has dropped from .584 to .317 from last season.
