Avila (hamstring) played in his second rehab game for Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday and should return from the disabled list in the upcoming week, the Daily Herald reports.
That was Avila's second rehab game in as many days. Even though he has gone hitless over those four at-bats, it is encouraging to see him play back-to-back days behind the plate after spending a few weeks on the DL. His impending activation should send Hector Sanchez to the minors, but it's unclear if he will boot Dioner Navarro from the starting lineup. Navarro has hit .308 with a .590 slugging percentage in Avila's time away.
