Torres (thumb) hopes to begin a rehab assignment next week, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Torres took dry swings and fielded grounders last week, and he'll report to Double-A Somerset to work out throughout this week. As long as the 24-year-old continues to trend in the right direction, the Yankees are optimistic that he'll return to game action with the minor-league club next week. Torres has been on the injured list since Aug. 9 and will likely remain away from the major-league club until early September.
