Craig Gentry (back) set to begin a rehab assignment for Angels

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Craig Gentry (back) is expecting to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday.

What It Means:

Gentry landed on the disabled list May 1 -- retroactive to April 26 -- with a right lumbar strain. Look for him to be activated next weekend.

The outfielder was batting just .147/.237/.176 in 39 plate appearances before the injury and will probably spend at least a week playing in minor league games.
