DeJong (hand) will start a rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

The duration of DeJong's minor-league stint remains unclear, but this move confirms that the shortstop received medical clearance to resume playing in games. Since he's been out for over six weeks after undergoing surgery on his fractured left hand, it's expected that he will require at least a few games with Memphis before returning to the big leagues.
