DENVER -- Rockies right-hander Bryan Shaw accelerated his return with a batting practice session on Wednesday, and he will begin a rehab assignment for Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday and Sunday.
Shaw, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right calf strain on June 24, has been working to find the consistency that has been lacking this season. The righty has a 7.57 ERA in 41 appearances, walking 20 in 35 2/3 innings, and has matched a career high by giving up eight home runs.
"I think it was a byproduct of the calf doing what it is doing, so now that's good to go, everything is back in line," Shaw said.
