Yoán Moncada returned to the field for the first time since spring training, opening his rehab stint on Saturday with the Knights in Charlotte.
The results are ho-hum -- a groundout, a strikeout, a single, an error at third base -- but the fact that he played third base instead of DH shows some confidence in his condition, as does the fact that he was adventurous enough to be caught stealing.
Wes Helms outlined the path forward through next week, which starts with a DH assignment today in the finale against Jacksonville.
