Sweeney begins rehab stint: Mark Sweeney (strained right hamstring) went 2-for-4 Thursday in the first game of a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas. He has been on the 15-day disabled list since July 4. (Updated 07/11/2008).
Sweeney, second on the all-time list for pinch hits, is hitting just .094 this season. He was in danger of being designated for assignment when the club needed to clear a roster spot for INF Nomar Garciaparra, but the injury might have saved his job for now. Sweeney is an NL-only type of hitter when healthy and is not worth hanging on to in Fantasy at this time. (Updated 07/11/2008).
Sweeney is expected to be activated from the disabled list on Monday, according to the Los Angeles Times. (Updated 07/25/2008)
