Bender's rehab assignment has been paused after he reported soreness in his right shin during his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Jacksonville, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Working his way back from a stress reaction in his shin, Bender pitched for Jacksonville on Tuesday in his first outing in nearly two months. He's returned to Miami to be examined, and the next steps for his rehab will be determined following that visit.
