Closing in on rehab assignment
Donovan (groin) will work out Wednesday for a second straight day at the Mariners' spring training complex before starting a rehab assignment later this week, assuming all goes well, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis
Previous reports suggested Donovan would begin playing rehab games in the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday. That's been pushed back a couple days, but Donovan should still have a good chance to be activated immediately after the All-Star break. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since mid-May with a left groin strain.

Cleared for rehab assignment
Donovan (groin) will embark on a rehab assignment Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis
Donovan is ready to take the next step in his recovery from a left groin strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list in mid-May. Given the length of his absence, the veteran infielder seems unlikely to return to the majors until after the All-Star break.
