Phillies' Austin Hays: Starting rehab assignment
Rotowire
Hays (abdomen) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
Hays has been on the shelf since Sept. 5 due to a kidney infection, and he's been cleared to appear in games. It's unknown how long of a rehab stint he'll require, but it's an encouraging sign nonetheless. Hays is slashing .254/.275/.373 in 19 games with the Phillies this season.
The Phillies placed Hays on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a kidney infection, retroactive to Sept. 2.
While Hays' infection helps explain why he's sat out both of the Phillies' last two games, it remains unknown if he'll require more than a minimum-length stay on the IL. Cal Stevenson will come up from Triple-A to fill the open spot on the active roster, though Johan Rojas figures to receive the largest increase in playing time while Hays is out.

Phillies' Austin Hays: Collects hit in return
Rotowire
Hays went 1-for-4 in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Royals.
Getting the start in left field and batting ninth in his return from a hamstring strain, Hays poked a single in the top of the third inning as the Phillies threatened to put together a rally, but the top of the order failed to advance him. The veteran outfielder is slashing .262/.279/.381 in 11 games since being traded from the Orioles, with one homer, two steals, four RBI and five runs for his new club. Hays should reclaim an everyday role for the Phillies now that he's healthy.
