The return of Alex Rodriguez is unknown. Rodriguez recently joined the twitter universe and on Tuesday sent a message out that he was cleared to play in rehab games.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez’s news angered Yankees general manager Brian Cashman who responded unfavorably.<\/p>\n

“You know what, when the Yankees want to announce something, [we will],” Cashman told ESPN New York. “Alex should just shut the f— up. That’s it. I’m going to call Alex now.”<\/p>\n

Cashman has been secretive about the rehab of Rodriguez and has refused to place a date for his return. The relationship between the Yankees and Rodriguez has been tense since the playoffs. During the playoffs Rodriguez was benched and pinch hit for.<\/p>\n

Recently Rodriguez’s name has appeared in MLB’s investigation into Anthony Bosch, the head of the Biogenesis lab that has been accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs to players.<\/p>\n

The Yankees owe Rodriguez more then $100 million though 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
