Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Rehab assignment starting Thursday

Gonzalez (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

The date of Gonzalez's first rehab game ended up being pushed back a couple days, but he's ready for game action now. Gonzalez has been out since early June with a left hamstring strain and should only need a few games in the minors before being cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.
