MOOSIC, PA. - The New York Yankees have transferred the Major League rehab assignment for infielder Didi Gregorius to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, beginning tonight against the Rochester Red Wings.

Gregorius underwent Tommy John surgery in October and began his 20-day rehab assignment with the Tampa Tarpons on May 25. The infielder played for Tampa twice over the weekend, going 2-7 at the plate with a home run. He played the full nine innings for the Tarpons on Sunday.

Gregorius is the second New York Yankee to join Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on a rehab assignment this season. Aaron Hicks made an Allied Services Integrated Health Systems rehab appearance on May 10 and 11.

The RailRiders start a six-game homestand this evening at 6:35 p.m. After a three-game set against Rochester, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre starts a series against Lehigh Valley on Friday. The club will honor former manager Marc Bombard Friday night and have the Chase Utley All-Time SWB Team Bobblehead Giveaway on Saturday as part of the Red Barons Reunion Weekend.
