Yankees’ Jeter looks to get cleared by doc on Thursday

OAKLAND — Derek Jeter took another small step forward Monday and could be moving closer to resuming significant baseball activities this week.

The Yankee captain fielded grounders directly hit at him Monday at the Yankees minor league complex in Tampa and is slated to visit Charlotte Dr. Robert Anderson Thursday to have the left ankle re-examined. If Anderson, who operated on Jeter after he fractured the ankle against the Tigers in the ALCS last October, says a second fracture that didn’t require surgery has healed, Jeter will begin more strenuous workouts at the Yankees’ minor league complex in Tampa.

Jeter wouldn’t immediately jump into full baseball activities but would likely start with fielding ground balls, hitting off a “T” and then graduating to batting practice.

Last week Jeter, 39 a week from Wednesday, surfaced at Yankee Stadium but was limited to playing catch while his mates took batting practice.

Joe Girardi said in Seattle, Alex Rodriguez was ahead of Jeter because “Derek hasn’t done any baseball activities.”

If Anderson says the ankle has healed, that will change.

Among the other injured Yankees, shortstop Eduardo Nunez, who is out with a strained muscle on his left side, fielded grounders in the outfield.

Outfielder Curtis Granderson, who is rehabbing a broken hand, ran in the outfield and threw, but did not catch.
