KANSAS CITY -- Royals manager Ned Yost said Jorge Soler, who is on the 60-day disabled list with a fractured left toe, is close to beginning a rehab assignment, probably with Triple-A Omaha.
"It could be over the next couple of days," Yost said.
Soler, who has been out since June 16, has been doing outfield and baserunning drills while also taking batting practice. Yost said the Royals would like to get him some at-bats at the big league level before the season ends, but they will still be cautious about his usage.
