Outfielder Jon Jay is getting closer to making his debut with the White Sox, who announced he’ll start a rehab assignment with Double-A Birmingham on Monday night.
Jay, whom the Sox signed in January as a potential leadoff hitter, has been dealing with a right hip strain and other issues since spring training and has been on the injured list since March 25.
He spent three weeks at extended spring training in Arizona last month.
“(I’ve) been testing it out,” Jay said last week.
