Gant (groin) could soon be ready to begin a rehab assignment, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Gant's recovery process has been a prolonged one, as he originally suffered his groin tear in the final week of spring training and has only recently begun to ramp up his activity. However, he's made sufficient progress to where general manager John Mozeliak feels he'll be ready to take the mound with Triple-A Memphis for some rehab outings in the coming weeks.
