Twins' Matt Wallner Set to Begin Rehab Assignment Wednesday

Matt Wallner, sidelined with a Grade 3 left hamstring strain since mid-April, is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday following successful progression in his recovery, including resuming running in early May. Wallner needs to run the bases on Tuesday to be cleared for this rehab stint, which he indicated could start as early as Wednesday. Multiple rehab outings will likely be necessary before he returns to the majors, where he has posted a .263/.373/.474 slash line with one home run and three RBIs over 67 plate appearances. Meanwhile, Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Colton Cowser, who has been on the 60-day injured list since late April, might start a rehab assignment sooner than expected after taking batting practice recently. Additionally, Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa are actively participating in concussion protocol exercises and working out, suggesting progress toward their returns. These developments signal positive movement in rehab assignments for several MLB players recovering from injuries.
