Updated: Monday Farm Report: LeMahieu Headed to Extended Spring

Second baseman DJ LeMahieu, out since May 13 with a sprained left thumb, will report to the Rockies extended spring training facility in Scottsdale on Tuesday. He will appear in extended spring games -- where he will be allowed to hit every inning if desired -- for two days. His situation will be re-evaluated after that.

By sending LeMahieu to extended spring the Rockies will avoid putting him on a 20-day rehab assignment until they are confident he is healthy.

The Rockies will assess his situation after the two days in extended spring. If all goes well the Rockies could then put him on a rehab assignment or could activate him. If he encounters any problems he can continue his rehab.
