Albies (foot) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Gwinnett, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
It was reported over the weekend that Albies was close to beginning a rehab stint, and an official date has now been set. It's not clear how many minor-league games he will play before rejoining the big club, but he figures to be back with Atlanta at some point in the first half of September.
