TAMPA, Fla. -- Alex Rodriguez says he feels great and his relationship with the New York Yankees is fine. Rodriguez didnt indicate when he will start a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment or rejoin the big league team, saying Saturday he "cant wait to get back." "So far, no issues," Rodriguez said. "Im just working really hard. Im having fun. Its exciting to be back on the field." The All-Star third baseman is taking at-bats at the Yankees minor league complex as he comes back from hip surgery in January. He also is fielding grounders, running the bases and doing sliding drills. "I feel like my swing is definitely getting back to form," Rodriguez said. "(Defensively) moving better the last few days. Everything is coming along." His rehabilitation became a point of contention in the past week. Rodriguez posted Tuesday evening on Twitter that his hip surgeon had cleared him to play in rehab games, an announcement that angered general manager Brian Cashman because Rodriguez has not been given the go-ahead by team doctors. When asked if everything is OK with the Yankees, Rodriguez said "absolutely." "Ready to get back on the field," Rodriguez said. "All good." Yankees captain Derek Jeter took five simulated at-bats, which included a swinging strikeout and line drive single to right off 20-year old Cuban left-hander Omar Luis. The shortstop ran four times first to third and four times from third to first on the grass just behind the infield dirt.
