Alex Rodriguez will return to the New York Yankees for their game tonight in Baltimore.
The team announced that Rodriguez would rejoin the team on Thursday, a few hours after the third baseman played in his final rehab game in Florida. He went 0 for 2 with two walks and played three innings of defense.
Rodriguez had surgery March 9 on his right hip but has recovered more quickly than expected.
Rodriguez shook hands and thanked members of the support staff at the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa for their work after taking extra grounders and batting practice following the intrasquad game.
