Blackmon (calf) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment as early as Wednesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Blackmon participated in batting practice prior to Tuesday's game against the Cubs and appears on track to head out to a minor-league affiliate in the near future, if not Wednesday. The 32-year-old has only been on the injured list since May 24 with the calf issue, so he shouldn't require a lengthy rehab assignment.
