The Yankees are planning to have Alex Rodriguez back next week, if all goes according to plan.
Rodriguez will complete his minor league rehab assignment this weekend.
"That's the hope," Brian Cashman said. "We'll see through the weekend. We started the 20-day rehab and once we felt he could complete the 20 days and be available to us in Texas. So let's get through the weekend and see where he is at and see if he is major league able."
New York could activate Rodriguez on Monday in Texas or give him an additional day off and push his first game to Tuesday.
"We have to get through the weekend, and then we will evaluate it," Cashman said.
