Starting rehab assignment Sunday
Rodriguez (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis
Rodriguez has been out for all of August with right elbow neuritis, but he's been cleared to test things out in games. The 24-year-old shouldn't require too many rehab contests, and once he's reinstated the Giants are expected to use the utility player more in the infield than at catcher or in the outfield.

Nearing rehab assignment
Rodriguez (elbow) will start a rehab assignment this week, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis
Rodriguez has been on the 10-day injured list since Aug. 1 due to right elbow neuritis, and he's ready to take the next step in his recovery program by playing in minor-league games. Per Pavlovic, the plan for Rodriguez is to see more work as an infielder once he's cleared to return from the IL.
