Rays' Matt Wisler: Rehab assignment on tap

Wisler (neck) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wisler threw a bullpen session Saturday and has been cleared to return to game action in the minors. He's been sidelined since July 27 due to a neck strain, but it's possible that he rejoins the Rays' rotation sometime in late August or early September.
