Red Sox catcher Reese McGuire will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, as first reported by Mike Monaco of NESN.
McGuire suffered a right oblique strain in Boston’s 5-4 loss against the Minnesota Twins on June 21. He has been on the IL ever since, and his spot on the depth chart is currently filled by Jorge Alfaro. McGuire resumed baseball activities on July 6 and is almost ready for a return to the big-league diamond.
