Manny's Minors stint could come next week

Manny Ramirez is closer to returning to the field, as he may make a rehab assignment sometime next week. The destination talked about would be Single-A San Bernardino.

The trick in all of this is that he may not actually be in San Bernardino. The California League All-Star break is from Monday-Wednesday. Then, they hit the road to nearby Lake Elsinore until Saturday, then return home. So who knows when and if that'll happen.

For those of you who don't know, he's allowed to play in up to 10 games in the Minors if he chooses, as are the rules of Major League Baseball. I'm not sure I totally agree with that, but that's what it is.

Now, there's plenty of jokes that can be made about Manny making a "rehab" assignment, but I won't go there...
