Astros' Bryan Abreu: Slated to begin rehab assignment

Abreu (leg) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land this week, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Abreu sustained a leg injury while shagging flyballs during batting practice in late May, and he's been on the injured list since May 30. He could require multiple rehab appearances since he's missed just over three weeks, but he appears to be trending toward a return.
