Boston Red Sox outfielder Jason Repko will start a minor league rehab assignment with Single-A Salem on Monday night, according to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe.
Repko, who signed with the Red Sox to a minor league contract prior to this season, started his year in Triple-A Pawtucket but has appeared in five games in the major leagues. In 11 at-bats with the Boston Red Sox this season, Repko is batting .091 with four strikeouts and just one hit, a single.
The 31-year old has been out since April 21 with a left shoulder sprain, which prompted the Red Sox to place him on the 60-day DL.
Over parts of seven years in the MLB with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Minnesota Twins and now the Red Sox, Repko has hit .224 with 16 home runs and 67 RBI.
