Mets' Jimmy Yacabonis: Beginning rehab assignment

Yacabonis (quad) was cleared Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton.

Yacabonis has only been on the 15-day IL for one week as he heals from a left quad strain. The 31-year-old figures to be an option again for the Mets around the time that he is first eligible for activation.
