A-Quad Progressing

A-Rod’s quad strain, which has progressed slowly from a Grade 2 to a Grade 1 strain, is almost “there” in terms of his rehab. The strain has healed well, thus far, and A-Rod’s next step will be to run the bases before tonight’s game against the Rays. Hopefully, everything will be in order and then he’s expected to play in a few rehab games before making his way back to the team (they’re dying to have him back). A-Rod’s strain was diagnosed as Grade 1 strain on Monday and ever since he’s been participating in fielding drills and batting practice. The Yankees have taken it slow with A-Rod and we’ll see if their pace was slow enough come tomorrow.
