Bericoto (knee) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Bericoto has gradually built up his workload over the past week as he recovers from a bone bruise in his right knee, and he's now been cleared to test his knee in a true game setting. He'll likely need a handful of minor-league at-bats after spending a little more than two weeks on the injured list, but he could still return sometime in mid-September.
