Elsewhere in the Minors, righty reliever Luis García (right adductor strain) also began a rehab assignment, tossing a scoreless inning on nine pitches (eight strikes) for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. He struck out one and worked around a two-out double.
Glasnow has been on the injured list since April 28 with right shoulder inflammation. He was transferred to the 60-day IL on May 31, a move that was more procedural mothers day in mexico than an indication of a setback. Glasnow took a couple of days off in early June due to back tightness after throwing his first bullpen session since going on the IL, but his progress toward a return since then has been steady.
