Pirates' Travis Swaggerty: Kicks off rehab assignment

Swaggerty (undisclosed) began a rehab assignment Friday with High-A Greensboro and went 1-for-3 with a triple, two walks and a run scored.

Swaggerty remains on Triple-A Indianapolis' 7-day injured list, but he looks poised to rejoin the Pirates' top affiliate shortly after the All-Star break. The outfielder has been on the shelf since early June with the unspecified injury.
