Jennings, Smyly progressing as expected

CHICAGO -- No setbacks is a good thing for any player on a rehab assignment.

To date, outfielder Desmond Jennings and left-hander Drew Smyly are both setback-free as they work toward rejoining the Rays at some point in August.

Jennings was the designated hitter Monday night for Triple-A Durham in the Bulls' 4-3 win over Indianapolis. He went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the third game of his rehab assignment.

"Jennings, everything is good," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "I actually talked to [Durham manager] Jared Sandberg today about Desmond. He said he's just getting his timing going.
