Via the AP, Alex Rodriguez increased the intensity of his workout in Tampa today as he comes back from right knee surgery. He took a total of 60 ground balls (40 ground balls from his knees, ten from the edge of the infield, ten from normal third base depth) and then 118 swings (55 off a tee, 63 off soft-toss). Afterward, he hung around to talk to some Braves’ minor leaguers who were in town to play the Rookie Level GCL Yankees. What a jerk.
The report says the Yankees expect him back in mid-August, which is the first time we’ve seen anything resembling a date for his return. Yay.
