Tyler O'Neill Injury: Restarting rehab assignment

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino indicated before Sunday's game that O'Neill (shoulder) was ready to resume his rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

After being placed on the injured list May 18 due to a left shoulder impingement, O'Neill kicked off a rehab assignment June 7 with Triple-A Norfolk. However, after playing just three games, O'Neill experienced renewed soreness in his shoulder and was pulled off the assignment. The 30-year-old received an injection in the AC joint of his shoulder which appears to have eliminated the discomfort, and O'Neill is now ready to test himself in a game setting again. He might need more than a handful of games in the minors to get his timing back at the plate before the Orioles activate him from the IL.
