May (triceps) is expected to begin a rehab assignment in the near future, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Manager Buck Showalter said Friday that he believes May is close to starting a rehab assignment. The reliever has been out since early May while nursing a stress reaction in the lower portion of his humerus. Prior to getting hurt, May had struggled to a 8.64 ERA and 1.92 WHIP over 8.1 innings in eight appearances.
