Marte (thumb) will start his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Tacoma, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Marte suffered a thumb sprain May 21 after he appeared to jam his hand while stealing a base against the Reds. The 22-year-old will return to game action with Tacoma on Tuesday and stay with the minor league club through Saturday. It appears that Seattle will then activate Marte next Monday assuming there are no setbacks during his five game rehab stint.
