Garlick (rib cage) is progressing toward taking live at-bats and could begin a rehab assignment within a few days, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Garlick has been on the injured list since Aug. 4 with a bruised right rib cage. The righty-hitting 30-year-old outfielder has been a key weapon against left-handed pitching this season, producing a .928 OPS in those matchups.
