Pirates' Corey Hart to restart rehab assignment Thursday

Pirates first baseman Corey Hart will begin a rehab assignment Thursday at Triple-A, reports MLB.com.

Hart was on a rehab assignment for his shoulder injury last month, but was shut down after experiencing a setback.

"I kept trying to push through and made it worse," Hart said. "That was the hard part. Hopefully that's behind me. I'll go to Triple-A and try to do as much as I can to prove that I can stay healthy and stay on this roster. That'll come. Hopefully I can get there and work it out.”
