Desmond Jennings starts running on Sunday

Rays outfielder Desmond Jennings ran for the first time since landing on the disabled list on Sunday. He ran on a strip of grass outside Tropicana Field as opposed to the stadiums AstroTurf. Jennings has been on the shelf since April 26th with a knee problem, and should be nearing rehab assignment. (Tampa Tribune )
Fantasy Impact:
Jennings will certainly need some at-bats prior to coming back so he can establish timing. Rays manager Kevin Cash has said he wants Desmond to get plenty of repetitions as well, leaving a firm timetable seemingly non-existent. Jennings has never quite lived up to expectations, and his checkered injury history is certainly cause for concern. He should come back sometime in the next couple weeks and play regularly, while hitting around sixth in the lineup. Double digit home runs could be in play, but it'd be wise to monitor how much he's running once he returns.
