Brock Stewart Begins Rehab Assignment with Class-A Ontario

Dodgers right-hander Brock Stewart is officially beginning a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday night with the Class-A Ontario Tower Buzzers. Stewart is currently considered the closest to returning among the nine Dodgers pitchers residing on the injured list. The veteran's progression to game action 42 miles east of Dodger Stadium marks a critical final step in his recovery process. His eventual return will provide much-needed relief to a Los Angeles pitching staff thinned by injuries.
