Yankees 9pmct

PA, Fla. -- Derek Jeter returned Thursday to
the Yankees' Minor League complex, where he
will continue to rehab his fractured left ankle.
But he can't take the next step in his recovery
until next week, at the earliest.
The Yankees captain is scheduled to fly to
Charlotte, N.C., next week to meet with his
surgeon and undergo a CT scan. Until then, he
can't do much more than play catch, do some
cardiovascular exercises and go through
physical therapy.
"I have no news, none. Can't do anything
different till I see the doctor, so there's
absolutely no news from me," Jeter said. "I
wish, but I got nothing. I mean, I wish I could
do more, but I can't until I go to the doctor."
When Jeter spoke to reporters in New York last
week, he mentioned that he hoped to field
ground balls hit directly at him before that
appointment with Dr. Robert Anderson, but he
said Thursday that he hasn't done so yet.
He suffered the initial ankle fracture during
Game 1 of the 2012 American League
Championship Series. He planned to be ready by
Opening Day, but his ankle didn't heal as
expected. He later discovered a new break in
his foot, which assumedly occurred shortly
before he was scratched from a Spring Training
game March 19 in Clearwater, Fla. Since then,
he has refrained from setting a new timetable for
his return.
He plans to remain in Tampa until his
appointment in Charlotte. After that, he hopes to
return to the complex on Himes Avenue with a
little more encouraging news than he had to
offer Thursday.
"I really do wish I had an update," he said.

Arod taking

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Alex Rodriguez
says he will “monitor the situation and comment
when appropriate” as baseball’s investigation
into an alleged PED-peddling clinic in Florida
appears to be gaining traction .
A bombshell report Tuesday night said
Biogenesis of America operator Anthony Bosch
has agreed to cooperate with MLB’s probe, and
the league is seeking a possible 100-game ban
for A-Rod and others tied to the performance-
enhancing drug scandal.
“Myself and others are being mentioned in a
media report before the process is even
concluded,” Rodriguez said in a statement
Thursday. “I would hope this thing would follow
the guidelines of our Basic Agreement. I will
monitor the situation and comment when
appropriate.”
In January, the Miami New Times reported A-
Rod’s name was listed multiple times in the
reported records of Biogenesis. The Yankees
star, recovering from offseason hip surgery, has
denied any relationship with Bosch.
“As I have said previously, I am working out
every day to get back on the field and help the
Yankees win a championship,” Rodriguez said.
“I am down here doing my job and working hard
and will continue to do so until I’m back
playing.”
Milwaukee Brewers star Ryan Braun and
Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli were among
the other players linked to the clinic. A league
executive told CBS News that Bosch could
implicate up to 25 players, including some stars
not currently named in the firestorm.
MLB investigators are interviewing players with
ties to the Biogenesis scandal. Union head
Michael Weiner said in a statement Wednesday
that the commissioner’s office “has assured us
that no decisions regarding discipline have been
made or will be made until those interviews are
completed.”
A-Rod admitted in 2009 to using steroids while
with the Texas Rangers.
