Simmons (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with the Angels' advanced rookie affiliate, Orem, on Tuesday.
Simmons continues to make impressive progress from a left ankle sprain, and he'll take another big step forward by embarking on a rehab stint. The plan is for Simmons to spend two games with Orem, as he'll play five innings Tuesday followed by seven innings Wednesday, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. According to skipper Brad Ausmus, his starting shortstop has a chance to return from the shelf by June 23 if all goes well while he's in the minors.
