Burdi (hip) will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday to begin a rehab assignment.
Considering that Burdi has been on the shelf since late May with right hip inflammation, he'll likely require at least a handful of appearances in the minors before returning from the 60-day injured list. Prior to being deactivated, Burdi made 12 appearances out of the Yankees bullpen, giving up two earned runs on five hits and nine walks while striking out 12 over 9.2 innings. He'll handle a low-leverage relief role once the Yankees activate him.
