Grandal (knee) was sent to Double-A Birmingham on Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Grandal tested his knee by running the bases over the weekend, and he's been cleared to return to game action with the team's minor-league affiliate. The 32-year-old has been on the injured list since early July due to a left knee procedure, but he'll begin the final step in his recovery process and will reclaim the primary role behind the dish once he's reinstated from the 10-day IL.
