Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is in "good spirits," according to general manager Brian Cashman, who spoke with the injured star on Tuesday night.
Cashman said the slugger continues to ride an exercise bike during his recovery from Monday's arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip.
Manager Joe Girardi said Rodriguez left him an upbeat message Tuesday night.
"He sounded good," Girardi reported. "Said: 'I'm doing well.' Good to hear from him."
Doctors said they found nothing that would keep Rodriguez from returning to the lineup in May.
He will need a more extensive operation after the season, but should be ready for spring training 2010. He is expected to spend a few weeks rehabilitating in Colorado, then will return to the Yankees' spring training complex in Florida when he is ready for baseball drills.
