Reds' Austin Hays: Begins rehab assignment

Hays (foot) went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI for Double-A Chattanooga on Tuesday.

Hays began what may be a brief rehab assignment for the Lookouts. He served as the designated hitter and was used as the leadoff hitter to maximize his plate appearances. Hays is expected to play the outfield Wednesday.
