Jay (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Peoria on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Jay took batting practice on the field with his teammates Monday, and afterward GM John Mozeliak announced the start date and location for the outfielder's rehab assignment. The club wants Jay to play two or three games in the minors to work on his timing, but if all goes well, he will be activated Friday. It's uncertain, however, what role Jay will take on upon his return, as Randal Grichuk and Peter Bourjos have fared reasonably well in his absence and Jay went 25-for-101 with two extra-base hits (both doubles) before hitting the DL.
