Schultz will began a rehab assignment Thursday, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

Schultz, who is returning from offseason hip surgery, had been pitching to live hitters the last few weeks but is now set to begin a minor league rehab assignment. If the 30-year-old righty experiences no setbacks during his rehab appearances, he could return to the Blue Jays' bullpen in the near future.
