MLB Multiple Relievers Begin Rehab Assignments Across Teams

Several MLB teams are seeing key relievers begin rehab assignments as they work toward returning from injuries. The New York Mets' right-handed reliever Reed Garrett, sidelined since late August with right elbow inflammation, has begun his rehab with Double-A Binghamton and could return to the major league bullpen soon, providing much-needed stability. Similarly, the New York Yankees' left-handed reliever Brent Headrick, dealing with a left forearm contusion, has started his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, offering hope for a more consistent bullpen as the Yankees push for the AL East lead. Orioles catcher Gary Sanchez, recovering from a sprained right knee, is also set to begin a rehab assignment shortly, aiming for a late-season return, though his playing time may be limited by the health of other catchers. Additionally, Orioles pitcher Scott Blewett made his first rehab appearance since suffering right elbow discomfort and is expected to need more outings before potentially activating from the 60-day injured list mid-September. These rehab moves reflect teams' efforts to bolster their rosters during critical stretches of the MLB season.
