Red Sox manager John Farrell said Wednesday he's hopeful backup catcher David Ross (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Portland Thursday, according to WEEI.com.

“David Ross, we’re hopeful he will be in Portland (Thursday) to get some at-bats," Farrell said. "We’ll just have to go through the normal protocol with MLB when it comes to concussions. So there’s some lengthy paperwork as you might expect to get that taken care of. But we’re hopeful that he’ll be back for us during the Cleveland series (May 23-26)."

Red Sox catcher David Ross (concussion) is showing more improvement Tuesday, the Boston Globe reports. Ross is slated for rehab games by the end of the week. 

It was thought previously that Ross may not need rehab games, though that appears not to be the case now. 

The Red Sox examined catcher David Ross in Boston Monday and it was determined that he has been cleared to resume throwing and hitting off a tee, the Boston Herald reports.

Ross (concussion) may not even need a minor league rehab assignment. He could be activated by Thursday if that is the case.
