A-Rod to Begin Baseball Activities Today

From Kat O'Brien:
Alex Rodriguez is expected to participate in his first baseball activities in more than a week today.

Rodriguez, who went on the disabled list April 30 with a Grade 2 strain of his right quadriceps, will do some light activities.

"It's been that week that we talked about," manager Joe Girardi said. "[He could] possibly start to do some more functional stuff where he might take some swings."
Asked if he will have Rodriguez sit an extra day this time after he says he is ready to play, Girardi said: "Yes, yes and yes."

Girardi said it will be up to Rodriguez if he needs a rehab assignment.
With the top of the order starting to hit the return of A-Rod next week will be a very big boost.
