Bericoto (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Bericoto has been on the shelf since July 10 due to a strained left oblique, but he has finally been given the green light to test his oblique in a game setting. He'll likely require a handful of tune-up games before returning from the injured list, putting him on track to return sometime in mid-August.
