Derek Jeter is set to rejoin the Yankees on Monday in his return from a calf injury.

The shortstop said Thursday he will play minor league rehab games Saturday and Sunday at Double-A Trenton and be with the Yankees for a series in Cleveland.

“I feel good now,” Jeter said after working out at the Yankees’ minor league complex. “I feel a lot better. I’m ready to get out of here.”

The team captain is six hits shy of 3,000. A return next week could put him on track to reach the milestone at Yankee Stadium during a four-game series against Tampa Bay from July 7-10. Then comes the All-Star break, and New York opens the second half with an eight-game road trip.

While Joe Girardi said on Thursday that Jeter’s plan to return ” is definitely a possibility,” he did say that everyone has to see how he progresses in the next couple of days.
