Yankees manager Joe Girardi discussed Jeter’s injury with the reporters, stating:
“He’ll continue to increase his work here. When we go on the road, I think he’ll probably go down to Tampa and resume baseball activities. I think at some point this week you’ll start seeing him do my favorite, tee and toss.”
Jeter has been back in New York and was seen throwing at Yankee Stadium over the weekend, but is still a few steps away from beginning rehab games. The shortstop has yet to run on his injured calf, but assumes he will run in the next few days, according to Mike Mazzeo of ESPNNewYork.com.
Jeter has been on the disabled list since Aug. 3 with a right calf strain. He has only appeared in five games in 2013 thanks to ankle and quad injures earlier in the year.
