Brian Jordan starts rehab assignment at Rome
Brian Jordan began his rehab at Class-A Rome Thursday, approximately one month after he was sidelined with inflammation in his left knee. Jordan has gone 2-for-5 with a home run and 3 RBIs in 2 rehab games thus far but, with the emergence of Jeff Francoeur as the Braves’ everyday right fielder, will likely have his rehabilitation extended to the maximum 20 days. That way the he can return when rosters are expanded in September and still have a chance to be added to the postseason roster. However, I wouldn’t bet on that happening as he was batting .244 with only 3 home runs and 23 RBIs before being placed on the DL.
