MIAMI (AP) — Troy Tulowitzki will begin a rehabilitation assignment Wednesday, and the Colorado Rockies hope to activate the shortstop after he spends a week in the minor leagues.
Manager Jim Tracy outlined a timetable Monday for Tulowitzki and also said first baseman Todd Helton may be activated from the disabled list as early as Tuesday.
Helton has been out since July 5 with a stiff back. Tulowitzki broke his left wrist June 17.
Tulowitzki plans to play two games for Triple-A Colorado Springs beginning Wednesday, then travel to Tulsa and start two games for the Double-A Drillers. He may be activated as early as July 28, Tracy said.
The Rockies haven’t decided whether to activate Helton without a rehabilitation assignment.
