Orioles' Bruce Zimmermann: Ready for second rehab start

Zimmermann (biceps) is scheduled to make the second start of his rehab assignment Thursday at Triple-A Norfolk, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

After being placed on the 10-day injured list June 18 with left biceps tendinitis, Zimmermann was cleared to begin his rehab assignment at High-A Aberdeen last weekend. He tossed three innings in that start, giving up two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out four. Zimmermann tossed 55 pitches in that outing, and if he can push into the 70-to-80 range Thursday, he could slot back into the Baltimore rotation for his next start.
