Manager Pat Murphy said Saturday that Mitchell (finger) is slated to begin playing in minor-league rehab games Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Mitchell will participate in live batting practice over the weekend before heading to one of Milwaukee's minor-league affiliates. Assuming all goes well during BP and his rehab games, the speedy outfielder remains on track to return to the Brewers on June 17.
MItchell (finger) was seen hitting off a tee Friday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Mitchell is on track for a June return, and he took another step in his recovery Friday. He took three sets of 10 swings off a tee as the team warmed up for its matchup with the Red Sox. Once he's activated, Mitchell is expected to push Jackson Chourio, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick for playing time in the Brewers outfield.
