Santana could begin rehab assignment soon

CINCINNATI -- Brewers right fielder Domingo Santana took a step forward over the All-Star break while Chris Capuano took a significant step back, as both players continue comeback attempts from elbow injuries.

First, the positive news. Santana, sidelined since June 8 with soreness in his right elbow after an earlier disabled list stint for a shoulder injury, was a full participant in the Brewers' workout Friday at Great American Ball Park as the team prepared to open the second half. He could begin a Minor League rehabilitation assignment as soon as the end of next week, manager Craig Counsell said.
