Strzelecki (forearm) has been sent to Triple-A Memphis to begin a rehab assignment, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Strzelecki landed on the 15-day injured list nearly two weeks ago with right forearm extensor inflammation. Because his absence has been brief, the reliever shouldn't require many rehab appearances. He's eligible for activation Friday and has a chance to be ready by that date.
