I’m not sure too many Yankee fans share Alex Rodriguez’s enthusiasm about returning to the team. He however says his relationship with the Yankees is fine and he can’t wait to get back to work. Read more after the jump.
Rodriguez didn’t indicate when he will start a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment or rejoin the big league team, saying Saturday he “can’t wait to get back.”
“So far, no issues,” Rodriguez said. “I’m just working really hard. I’m having fun. It’s exciting to be back on the field.”
The All-Star third baseman is taking at-bats at the Yankees’ minor league complex as he comes back from hip surgery in January. He also is fielding grounders, running the bases and doing sliding drills.
“I feel like my swing is definitely getting back to form,” Rodriguez said. “(Defensively) moving better the last few days. Everything is coming along.”
When asked if everything is OK with the Yankees, Rodriguez said “absolutely.”
“Ready to get back on the field,” Rodriguez said. “All good.”
