Unfortunately, you have to dig through all of the insignificant information in this article in order to get to the good stuff. So I did it for you.
He faced 30 pitches in eight plate appearances as a designated hitter, and hit one home runs, struck out twice and walked twice.
"I'm in a good place. I think more importantly physically I feel like I'm getting better everyday," Rodriguez said. "We've had a great week here. We've worked extremely hard, and I'm just very anxious to do what God put me on this Earth to do, to play baseball."
Rodriguez is scheduled to DH again tomorrow in Bradenton, Fla.. He has yet to play the field, and will continue to work on sliding into bases.
ESPN reported Rodriguez looked "rusty" and uncomfortable, and is at least a week away from returning to the Yankees lineup.
Usually, I'd want A-Rod back in the lineup tomorrow, but he can't be rushed. A guy as mentally fragile as Alex cannot be hurried. But it's good to see that he's making his way back.
By the way, I hate to bring this up, but do you think the release of Selena Roberts' book was meant to coincide with Rodriguez's return?
