Derek Jeter plays rehab game

Share

Derek Jeter took the first step in his return to the New York Yankees from a calf strain, going one for two with a walk and cleanly fielding five balls at shortstop in five innings Saturday for double-A Trenton (N.J.).

Jeter is scheduled to play one more rehabilitation game with the Thunder on Sunday night and could rejoin the Yankees as early as Monday in Cleveland, where he will continue his pursuit of 3,000 hits.
