HBT: A-Rod 'conducting two rehab sessions each day'

You?ve probably seen the stories suggesting that Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez ?is unlikely to ever wear the pinstripes again? due to issues with his surgically-repaired hip or that he?s ?scared and paranoid? about how people will react to the Biogenesis stuff. But it?s mostly garbage.

A-Rod said through a spokesman Thursday that he?s rehabbing?diligently?in New York and looking forward to returning to the Yankees around the middle of the 2013 season. Andy McCullough of the Newark Star-Ledger transcribed the short statement:

?Right now I?m dedicating 100% of my energy and focus on my rehabilitation. I am conducting two rehab sessions each and every day in an effort to get back on the field and rejoin my Yankees teammates. I think we have a great team and I want to be a part of it.?

The Yanks signed Kevin Youkilis to a one-year, $12 million free agent contract this offseason to fill in at the hot corner. Rodriguez, 37, batted .272/.353/.430 with 18 homers and 57 RBI in 122 games last summer. He is owed $28 million in 2013, $25 million in 2014, $21 million in 2015, $20 million in 2016 and $20 million in 2017.
