Rockies pitcher Jordan Lyles is expected to begin a rehab assignment Friday, MLB.com reports.
Lyles is scheduled to make three rehab starts, but the team could bring him back after the second to pitch July 28 on a limited pitch count if everything goes smoothly over the next few weeks. Out since June 4 with a fractured hand, Lyles owns a 3.52 ERA and 49:26 K:BB ratio in 69 innings.
