The Boston Red Sox could have their starting lineup together for the first time this season within the next week.

Shane Victorino began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday. He is scheduled to continue the assignment on Monday and Tuesday after taking Sunday off.

Victorino could be in Boston's lineup as early as Wednesday.

Will Middlebrooks, who has been down since April 5 with a right calf strain, will start his assignment with Pawtucket on Monday.

Victorino suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain in Boston's spring finale.
