New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has resumed on-field work for the first time since his 2013 season was cut short. The Yankees captain hit off a tee in a batting cage and fielded 108 grounders on the grass in front of the infield dirt Monday at the Yankees minor league complex. Jeter, who turns 40 in June, was limited to 17 games last year after breaking an ankle during the 2012 playoffs. "I don't think about it, and that's a good thing," Jeter said. Jeter broke his left ankle Oct. 13, 2012 during the AL Championship Series opener against Detroit. He was limited to five games and 11 at-bats during spring training last year, stayed behind in Florida when the team broke camp for rehabilitation and broke the ankle again in April during rehabilitation. "It's good to have a normal offseason and get some work in," Jeter said. "Everything is normal now." Source: ESPN New York
