SI’s Jon Heyman is reporting that A-Rod is ahead of schedule, and will return to action sometime during the first week in May.
Alex Rodriguez and the Yankees have moved up A-Rod’s target date and are now shooting for a return to the team sometime in the first week of May, sources say.
Rodriguez and the Yankees were originally calling May 15 the target date for his return, and that is still the publicly stated goal. However, Rodriguez’s progress has been so good, both he and the team are hopeful he can return more than a week earlier than first expected
While this has been hinted at for some time, when Heyman reports something on a Boras client, its pretty much official. Taking a quick look at the Yankee schedule, that would mean he returns for either the Monday and Tuesday games vs Boston, or the following games against the Rays. Knowing Alex and his flair for the dramatic, expect to see him wearing a pinstriped cape in the Bronx on Monday night.

All of those arrogant, inept, ostentatious fans that said; “The team will be fine without him!”…you ain’t got no learnings!
We are better this year but, could be even better still. What are we now, 10-10? Conceivably, we could be around 14-6, with him in the line-up…what say you?
