Alex Rodriguez looked good in his first rehabilitation start on Saturday, belting a home run in his first game action since the end of April, according to The New York Post.

"It's been a while," Rodriguez said of the homer.

The plan is still for A-Rod to return to the Yankees on Tuesday against the Orioles, as he reported no setbacks during yesterday's game.

"It felt good," A-Rod said. "I think for today mission was accomplished. I was able to catch a couple of ground balls left and right and swing the bat aggressively and just go out there and feel my way again."
