The Nashville Sounds will get some extra help Tuesday as Omar Narvaez and Trevor Rosenthal begin rehab assignments. Both are looking to return from leg injuries and will join the AAA Nashville Sounds in Jacksonville for a road trip. If all goes well, both will look to play a key role in a potential postseason run.

Narvaez has had a slight regression from his 2021 All-Star campaign. He is hitting .237 with four home runs and 18 RBI, posting a .687 OPS and 0.8 WAR. But he has a .263 career average and provides a veteran presence behind the plate.

Rosenthal hasn't taken a major league mound in nearly two full seasons after going through a pair of surgeries prior to his current hamstring issue. He was acquired from the Giants at the trade deadline.

Manager Craig Counsell told reporters, including Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, that Rosenthal hit 98 MPH on the radar gun during a live batting practice session and that the reliver will probably spend about two weeks on his rehab assignment.

Rosenthal is expected to get an inning of work on Tuesday night.
