Ryan Brasier Injury: Cleared for rehab assignment

Brasier (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Brasier has missed the last couple weeks of action after tweaking his groin, but he's ready to test things out in a game setting. Because the absence has been brief, Brasier shouldn't require more than one or two rehab outings before being activated from the 15-day injured list.
