TAMPA, Fla. -- New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter says he thinks he is close to feeling well enough to begin playing in minor league games. The Yankees captain says he is now doing everything needed before beginning a rehabilitation assignment. "Im anxious to be playing in games," Jeter said after working out Thursday at the Yankees minor league complex. "When they tell me to play, Ill play." On Wednesday, Jeter ran the bases after putting the ball in play during simulated at-bats for the first time since a second break was found in his left ankle. He is expected to rejoin the Yankees after the All-Star break. "Everything felt good," Jeter said. Jeter has been out all season. He broke his ankle in the opener of the AL championship series on Oct. 13. After surgery, he played just five spring training games because of soreness. A new break was discovered on April 18. Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson, out with a broken knuckle on his left hand, took around 15 swings in an indoor pool with a lightweight pipe, the initial step in the process to resume hitting. "To know that this is the first step and weve checked that off is good news," Granderson said. Granderson is also catching flyballs during batting practice. Wholesale Adidas Shoes Canada .

The full extent of Geelongs off-season recruitment drive will become clear when Scott Selwood makes his AFL club debut against Essendon.Selwood, Patrick Dangerfield, Lachie Henderson and Zac Smith joined the Cats - to varying degrees of fanfare - after the 2015 season.Pre-season ankle surgery meant Selwood was forced to wait until round 20 for a chance to play alongside brother Joel.Its really exciting to have him back. Hes had a very long and meticulous rehab from serious ankle issues that have plagued him for two seasons, Cats coach Chris Scott said.Theres no golden ticket. If he plays well enough within our system then hell push for a spot (in the finals).Were optimistic that will happen but its far from guaranteed.The prospect of leaving a fit-again Selwood on the sidelines is the latest reminder of the Cats depth.Along with a large portion of our team, hes not an automatic selection, Scott said of the 26-year-old, who pplayed 135 games with West Coast.ddddddddddddeelong face Essendon at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, with Scott keen to see his side iron out some kinks while boosting their percentage in the lead-up to September.Meanwhile, Scott was bemused by recent conjecture about Jimmy Bartels future.Bartel is yet to decide whether he will play on in 2017, with the club icon saying this week that a season spent predominantly in the VFL would never sit comfortably.Hard to argue with ... I wouldve thought its self-evident, Scott said.If he plays well enough next year to demand a spot in our best 22, he plays AFL.My suspicion at the moment is that he will (play on).There has been a little bit of talk that seems to be slanted towards the negative, and Im struggling to understand that.The ball is squarely in his court.
