Starting rehab assignment Sunday
Basallo (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analyse
Shoulder inflammation has kept Basallo on the shelf for most of the second half, but after getting the green light to resume taking batting practice Friday, the young backstop is now ready to test his shoulder in a game setting. The Orioles have traded Adley Rutschman to Boston since Basallo landed on the injured list, so the latter should have minimal competition for starts behind the plate once he's cleared to return. Basallo should also see ample playing time as a designated hitter on his non-catching days.
