Nava (knee) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with High-A Inland Empire, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Nava has been on the disabled list since mid-April due to left patella tendinitis, allowing Rafael Ortega to form the larger half of a left-field platoon with Craig Gentry (back), who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday. Ortega now figures to platoon with Shane Robinson until Nava is available, which could happen by the end of the week.
