Goodrum (calf) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo next week, if not sooner,Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old, who took batting practice Wednesday, could head to Toledo later of this week. Injuries have limited Goodrum to only 11 at-bats this month, and the season as a whole has been tough for him, highlighted by a .220 average and 83 strikeouts in 205 at-bats. He doesn't figure to require a lengthy rehab assignment, given his brief stay on the injured list.

EDGE Analysis
The infielder was seen with a trainer during pregame warmups and apparently was not feeling good enough to play. Goodrum should be considered day-to-day and doesn't figure to be available for the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader. Zack Short enters the lineup to bat seventh and play shortstop.
