Mets' Jose Siri: Starting up rehab at Single-A

Siri (tibia) is expected to report to Single-A St. Lucie on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Siri has been on the shelf since April 17 due to a fractured left tibia, but he's finally gearing up for a return. With the Mets having acquired Cedric Mullins at the trade deadline to serve as their primary center fielder and with the Tyrone Taylor still available to fill in for Mullins against left-handed pitching, the Mets likely won't be in much of a rush to bring the right-handed-hitting Siri back from the 60-day injured list.
