If all goes according to plan, Alex Rodriguez will complete his minor league rehab this weekend and join the New York Yankees in Texas early next week. "That's the hope," general manager Brian Cashman said in a phone conversation Wednesday. "We'll see through the weekend. We started the 20-day rehab and once we felt he could complete the 20 days and be available to us in Texas. So let's get through the weekend and see where he is at and see if he is major league able." Cashman said the Yankees could activate Rodriguez on Monday in Texas or give him an additional day off and push his first game to Tuesday. "We have to get through the weekend, and then we will evaluate it," Cashman said. If the Yankees were to decide that Rodriguez wasn't ready to return, he would remain on the disabled list. He would then work out for a period of time before going on another rehab assignment. Source: ESPN New York
