A-Rod returning to Yankees this weekend?

Alex Rodriguez remains on schedule to get activated Sunday, the first day the Yankees third baseman is eligible to come off the disabled list, manager Joe Girardi said Monday. Rodriguez, who initially injured his left calf Aug. 16 and was placed on the disabled list Aug. 21, took some light hitting in the cage for the first time before last night’s game. He also did some light jogging in the outfield while the A’s took batting practice. — Newsday
