TAMPA, Fla. -- Battling soreness in his surgically repaired left ankle, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter -- whom the club confirmed will not play in a Minor League game on Sunday -- is likely to be on the disabled list when the team opens the regular season on April 1 against the Red Sox, general manager Brian Cashman said on Sunday.
According to Cashman, Jeter won't play Sunday or Monday, and the next realistic goal for the club is having the captain make his season debut on April 6 at Detroit.
"We'll obviously just have to continue to respond to how he feels," Cashman said. "I think he felt really good from the [cortisone] shot, but this continues to tell you that it's just not ready yet for the full duties. Obviously, it's looking more likely than not that he will start the season on the DL, and a more realistic goal is April 6th.
"You know he's shooting for April 1st. He's a warrior, and if anyone can do anything, it's Derek. Some things just need more time. The season is coming quicker than that leg is going to be ready, in my opinion. We'll obviously give it the time it needs. It's something we're dealing with, and we'll respond to how he's feeling. That's all we can do."
Cashman told Newsday that Jeter was "sore" after grounding out four times in a Minor League game as a designated hitter for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi has said that he needs to see Jeter play in back-to-back games without soreness in his ankle before the team would seriously consider having him on its roster.
In order for the Yankees to preserve their ability to backdate his injury for disabled list purposes, Jeter has been told that he will not play in another Major League game this spring. If the Yankees begin the season with Jeter on the DL, he would be eligible to be activated on April 6.
