SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 Seattle Mariners<\/a> third baseman Brendan Donovan<\/a> will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Arkansas on Monday, general manager Justin Hollander said.<\/p>\n

Donovan left Seattle’s 5-0 loss to the Texas Rangers<\/a> on April 17 with a left hip issue, and then was placed on the 10-day injured list three days later with a left groin muscle strain.<\/p>\n

Donovan was also dealing with right groin discomfort in early April and suggested it might be related to an Oct. 7 sports hernia surgery.<\/p>\n

The plan is for the 2025 All-Star to join the Mariners in Chicago<\/a> on May 8.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally positive the way that Donnie (Donovan) has progressed through this. Probably not going to be activated for this home stand,\u201d Hollander said Friday. \u201cThe idea would be a couple rehab games in Arkansas then meet us in Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donovan, 29, is hitting .304 and has three home runs, eight RBIs and nine walks in 18 games this season. The Mariners acquired Donovan from the Cardinals<\/a> in February in a three-team trade involving the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He fielded grounders and took batting practice Friday before Seattle faced Kansas City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In other moves, the Mariners recalled LHP Josh Simpson from Triple-A Tacoma and placed RHP Matt Brash<\/a> (2-0, 0.00 ERA) on the 15-day IL, retroactive to Thursday. Brash was removed Wednesday during his relief appearance against the Twins. Simpson made nine appearances in Tacoma, allowing one run in 9 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

RHP Bryce Miller<\/a> will make his third rehab start on Wednesday for High-A Everett. The 27-year-old was 4-6 with a 5.68 ERA in 18 regular-season starts last year. Miller is 24-21 with a 4.01 ERA in 74 starts over three major league seasons.<\/p>\n
