Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ryan Goins will begin his rehab assignment Thursday with the triple-A Buffalo Bisons, the team announced on Twitter.
Goins, who was placed on the 15-day DL on July 2 with forearm tightness, got injured after pitching an inning of relief in a 19-inning loss to the Cleveland Indians on July 1.
The 28-year-old infielder is hitting .176/.216/.308 with three home runs and 12 RBI in 59 games with the Blue Jays this season.
Goins has played for Buffalo in each of the last three seasons.
