In the final game of his rehab assignment with the Double A Portland Sea Dogs, Stephen Drew went 1 for 3 in a 4-3 loss Friday night against Reading.
Hitting in the leadoff spot and starting at shortstop after playing as the designated hitter on Thursday, Drew flew out to right in his first at-bat, lined a single to center in his second, and grounded out to short in his final at-bat of the night.
Drew went on the disabled list July 5 (retroactive to June 29) with a right hamstring strain, and has missed 16 games. He is expected to travel to Boston and start Saturday's game against the Yankees.
